Widows (2002) Reviews

Member Rating:

Adapted by Lynda LaPlante from her own 1983 British miniseries of the same name, the ABC four-parter Widows was set in motion by a bungled art heist, in which three thieves (and a possible fourth) were betrayed and killed. Rather than grieve over their fallen husbands, the three widows of the thieves -- Dolly (Mercedes Ruehl), Linda (Rosie Perez), and Shirley (Brooke Shields) -- join forces to complete the original "caper," and to track down their spouses' murderers. The ladies are joined by exotic dancer Bella (N'Bushe Wright), whose missing-in-action boyfriend may have been slaughtered along with the other three crooks. The American version of Widows debuted August 6, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This was a fun heist tale, with may twists & turns. Never a dull moment!

The movie was very slow moving for about the first third of the movie until they actually get into the planning of the heist and then the comedy and action pick up. It's an ok movie, not great, but has it's funny moments and dull moments.
