11 titles
The plan is clever. The crew is not. What makes a heist a caper rather than a thriller is tone: the job still goes wrong, but wrong is funny here — a rug that ties the room together becomes collateral in a kidnapping-that-isn't, a fox in a tailored suit robbing farmers out of sheer character, a crew of Roman con men undone by their own overconfidence.
