En 1961, Kempton Bunton, un taxista de 60 años, robó el retrato del duque de Wellington, de Francisco de Goya, de la National Gallery de Londres. Fue el primer (y sigue siendo el único) robo de la historia de la galería. Kempton envió notas de rescate diciendo que devolvería la pintura a condición de que el gobierno invirtiera más en el cuidado de los ancianos. Lo que sucedió a continuación se convirtió en algo legendario. Esta es la maravillosamente inspiradora historia de cómo un hombre decidido a cambiar el mundo puso en marcha el robo más insólito, y lo que sucedió después. (Entertainment One Films Spain)

I have a soft spot for these kinds of British stories. What could be a completely local, uninteresting tale is given that quintessentially British charm that keeps you engaged from start to finish. Jim Broadbent in the lead role exudes confidence and uses it to full effect, effortlessly stealing the show. His absurd approach to life creates a story that only the Brits could dream up. Overall, it's a delightful film, capped off with a little nod that will please any James Bond fan.

It's one of those cute British pictures, like a porcelain dog with a pipe, sitting in a rocking chair. Lovely for the mantlepiece, makes for a good mood and a feeling of home for a while, but forgettable. They made the main character and his family too slick for my taste. A bunch of cute little creatures, local goofballs, friendly fools who are like children. Their purity sheds light on our distorted and hard world. It's clichéd, it's trite, and I don't think the protagonist's image of himself as a local hero would agree with such a portrayal. Or at least, I hope so. I hope he get a restraining order forbidding them to portray him as an impractical knucklehead who might be right about something, but otherwise we have every right to look down on him. IN A NUTSHELL: How to fight the system when no one even notices you're fighting.
