A group of likable losers try to pull of what by their standards seems like a major heist in this offbeat
crime comedy, loosely based on the classic Italian caper
comedy I Soliti Ignoti. A group of sad sacks living in a rundown neighborhood in Cleveland all have one thing in common -- they need money, and aren't especially fussy about how they get it.
Riley (
William H. Macy) is a guy whose wife has been sent to jail, leaving him to look after their baby, when she's unable to pay a fine.
Pero (
Sam Rockwell) is in love with a beautiful girl (
Jennifer Esposito) who has a roving eye, and he's convinced that a bigger bankroll would help him win her heart.
Leon (
Isaiah Washington) is a hipster who wants to keep his sister,
Michelle (
Gabrielle Union), out of trouble.
Basil (
Andrew Davoli) is a guy with bad luck, and eyes for
Michelle. And
Toto (
Michael Jeter) is a small-time crook looking for something to do -- if it's profitable, all the better. Someone gets the bright idea that a robbery might be the answer to everyone's problems, and with the help of
Jerzy (
George Clooney), a safe-cracker confined to a wheelchair, they set out to find the right target.
Welcome to Collinwood was the first feature film from the writing and directing team of
Anthony Russo and
Joe Russo; filmmaker
Steven Soderbergh and co-star
George Clooney served as producers.
