This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Mystery Edition - Capers

---

I had the impression that capers were heists, but apparently they are kinda more broad theft movies which can include heists, frauds and cons. Capers also tend to be more lighthearted and comedic. I'm picking the most recent capers I've seen

 

Ocean's Eight (2018)

I think I've only seen the 60's Ocean's movie and parts of the George Clooney ones. So I don't know how much of a sequel or spinoff this is other that the main character is the Clooney's character's sister. Anyway I didn't love this, but it was fun and funny enough to be an entertaining watch.

Ant-Man (2015) and Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)

So as to the caper part...the Ant-Man is a thief, so he is always tasked with stealing something. I am very unfamiliar with the Ant-Man character thus I kinda went in thinking this seems like a silly superhero and the movie is probably is gonna be bad. Turned out I was pleasantly surprised. I found it to be probably two of the funniest Marvel movies.

 

Logan Lucky (2017)

This is a fun caper about two brothers pulling off a heist during a NASCAR race. Although it does take its time to show us what or how the actual heist is. But if you're patient it gets there.
