Watch: Foolproof 2003 123movies, Full Movie Online – Twenty-something Torontonians and friends Kevin, Sam and Rob play a game they call Foolproof: they plan foolproof heists, but without the intention of actually carrying them out. They have a few rules in the game, including the three having the necessary technical and physical abilities to carry out the tasks required for the heist, the plan cannot include loaded guns, and there is no violence meaning that no one gets hurt. They try to be as meticulous if not more so than the best high stakes thieves. The fun is in knowing they could do it if they truly wanted. Their collective lives change when someone breaks into Sam’s apartment and steals their latest plan for a jewelry warehouse heist. After the warehouse is hit, the culprit identifies himself to them as Leo ‘The Touch’ Gillette, a known but never convicted high stakes thief who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He tells them that the break-in at Sam’s apartment was not by accident, and that part of his grand plan is to use them to map and carry out a $20 million theft of bonds for him. Since he has evidence of their involvement in the warehouse heist, they feel they have no other option but to help him. Their friendship is tested as they try to figure out how best to get themselves out of this predicament, sometimes each looking out solely for him or herself. But their view of helping The Touch may change as they actually begin to work on a real heist with real stakes..
Plot: Kevin, Sam and Rob have an unusual hobby: planning foolproof heists, without intending to actually perform them. The game goes wrong when their latest plan is stolen and carried out. Things get even worse when a mysterious man approaches them with an offer: plan a heist for him, or go to jail. As the clock ticks, they find that the risk might be higher than just their freedom.

8/10 Good script, good acting, good plot, good soundtrack, intelligent caper.
I loved this movie.Foolproof is a pretty intelligent caper film that rises above standard caper/action movies that you get from, say, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Acting: It was very good, but the acting from Ryan Reynolds was great. I found his delivery perfect for the role.
Script: The script was fairly intelligent but fell into a few standard-caper-script holes in a few spots. Overall the script maintained its character through the interpersonal banter, particularly with Reynolds.
Soundtrack: Excellent. Perhaps the greatest complement to an intelligent movie is a groovy soundtrack that helps keep the momentum of the film going. This soundtrack is groovy. Think Ocean’s Eleven with George Clooney.
Plausibility: Well, here we have problems. Don’t think this is realistic, just be thankful you don’t have Arnie flying a Harrier jet. Hey, it’s as plausible as Ocean’s Eleven.
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie, and I would happily recommend it to almost anyone.

would have been better if the director didn’t foolproof it
Sadly writer/director William Phillips must have felt the need to take the name of the film to heart in every literal way as the movie, about three friends who find themselves getting in over their heads after someone steals their bank heist plans, feels the need to hold the audiences hand every single step of the way, explaining everything that happens in the movie and thus dumbing it down exponentially. Foolproofing it as it were. Because of this the film feels a bit too long. Other than that and the fact that David Suchet took a role that seemed tailor made for Bob Hoskins, the film while never good in the conventional connotation of the word, is still serviceable enough for a rainy afternoon with nothing better to do. None of the actors (or actress) embarrasses themselves in the film (although Kristin comes VERY close), and the fun factor of it overcompensates for the convolutedness of it all.My Grade: C+
