In Reply to: "Street Thief:" makes just about any crime film you've seen before seem fake, posted by tinear on February 17, 2009 at 09:48:06:
Whenever a film 'purports' to show 'actual' footage of crimes, we never can quite know what we are watching, as the better the direction is, the more realistic and genuine the footage will appear.
When you say that the producer was arrested for armed robbery, do we know this independently or was is text shown at the end of the film, which of course could be false, backed up by 'actual' footage of the guy being led away in handcuffs or manufactured newsprint.
As a law-abiding citizen of high moral values I must object to films which glorify any kind of crime and which may encourage any form of hero worship by youngsters.
As a film goer I look forward to seeing this 'movie', and when the blowing people away with hand-guns is now routinely followed by a joke, burglary although bad isn't perhaps in the same league.
That being said, I wouldn gladly blow away any burglar I found in my own house.....
