Foolproof is a 2003 Canadian heist film directed by William Phillips and starring Ryan Reynolds, David Suchet, Kristin Booth, Joris Jarsky, and James Allodi.
The plot follows three friends who play a game called "Foolproof" where they create detailed plans to infiltrate and rob various targets, without actually executing the heists. However, their game takes a dark turn when a famous criminal named Leo Gillette steals their plans and blackmails them into carrying out a real $20 million bank heist.
The film explores themes of friendship, crime, and the consequences of playing with dangerous scenarios. It features a mix of comedy and thriller elements as the friends try to outwit Leo and the authorities.
Foolproof received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the performances and premise but criticism of the convoluted plot. The film had a limited theatrical release in 2003 and was later released on DVD in 2004.
While not a major box office success, Foolproof has developed a cult following over the years. It showcases Ryan Reynolds in an early lead role before his breakout in comedies.
