Please submit your resume to: ming@winhomeservices.net Visit us online: www.heraldpublications.com Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn Reimagined in Quirky Band of Robbers Ryan Rojas for www.CINEMACY.com Classic characters from perhaps the greatest literary work of American literature, Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, have hit the big screen in a re-imagining that takes their mischievously-intentioned selves, keeps a driving plot about finding a mythic treasure and leaves the rest behind – to good-spirited, well-earned fun in the new film, Band of Robbers. Our exclusive on-camera interview with some of the film’s cast & crew, Matthew Gray Gubler, Adam and Aaron Nee, is out now on www.CINEMACY.com. This timeless twosome, trouble-making in their never-ending pursuit of adventure and hero-seeking recognition and glory, are leveraged here as modern-day treasure seekers that unite with their trusted merry men in hatching a plan of finding buried treasure. The fun that is had here is in feeling the familiarity of these good ol’ boys that live so canonically in culture and giving them the slick young people’s comedic treatment, working off a fine-tuned script and the work of a stellar cast makes for a worthwhile, enjoyable time. It should be stated early there’s not a whole lot that Robbers, truly, lifts from Mark Twain’s classic novel or characters other than using the characters’ likeliness and winning charms to drop them into this new culture mash-up. It’s really just the story of “a version of” Huck Finn (Kyle Gallner) and Tom Sawyer (Adam Nee), where Huck is a recent prison release looking to make clean and Tom is a wily cop whose adventure-seeking ways leads to his character’s charming but law-skirting flirtations, and through this all, they still remain the best of friends, along with a band of other self-affirmed misfit pirate pals There’s a streak of folksy, whimsy appeal here, which, with the feeling of it being a home-grown indie effort of true charm (along with its premise of a tight-knit group of friends on a headstrong crime spree of a less-thanthought out scheme), most closely resembles Wes Anderson’s winning feature debut, Bottle Rocket (1996). The difference is that it’s entirely obvious that everyone here is looking to make themselves into a goofball for a good time and audiences should find themselves laughing at the number of jokes offered here. When Tom wrangles “the band” back together after Huck’s first day out of the clink (for an unspecified, non-violent crime) and reveals a plan to steal the fabled Murrell’s treasure, right off the bat his monologuing is met with raised eyebrows and wry confusions, setting up the level of competency of all involved. The pact is legitimized by – you guessed it – a blood oath (though they compromise in not spilling any actual blood, in this secret meeting at Tommy Barnes’ poker table in his “man cave”). The faces and talents enlisted here are truly where the comedy shines. It has the taste of 21 Jump Street comic-firing and timing of every-line-a-joke (and mostly bulls eye’s at that), uses some familiar faces and some not-so, in playing a winning hand. Kyle Gallner as Huck is a Jeremy Renner meets Rick Grimes a la The Walking Dead, where Adam Nee as Tom is as much as stand-out in a role that he knows so well. The geekbeloved Matthew Gray Gubler as Joe Harper, along with Hannibal Burress as Ben Rogers add a deep bench to the effort, with Burress (and “Greg…Knife”) nailing every one of his scenes. Melissa Benoist and Eric Christian Olsen also star as little-used Becky Thatcher, Tom’s new partner on the day of the planned heist and Sid Sawyer, beloved detective who plays it maybe a bit too straight. Written and directed by brother filmmaking team Aaron and Adam Nee, Robbers went through many years of development (including an idea of it being a TV show) before finally having its world premiere at the LA Film Festival in 2015. One wonders what following that version of Huck, Tom, and company may have been like, and what many adventures they may have spun in and out of in sit-com fashion. But its final format of a ninety-five-minute feature film feels like the best use of its talent, sparing any over-indulgence in what could have flopped as a gimmick and succeeds as a send-up that breathes fresh life into an American classic. Band of Robbers is now playing at the Laemmle Playhouse 7 and On Demand. • Film Review Matthew Gray Gubler, Kyle Gallner, Adam Nee in Band of Robbers. Courtesy of Gravitas Ventures.
