The Hook- Its a classic heist movie with Super powers. Double crosses, fast talking, and action

Imagine if you had super power. What would you do Save the world, help stop crime, maybe save some kitten?  Naa you would do none of that crap. You would go to Vegas and get to thieving. That is the idea behind this. It has couple of low level thieves with big level dreams using their powers to do it. The plots pretty cool. They tossed you in it pretty fast showing you the heist that turns bad quickly. The story follows a couple of thieves who could rip off by one of their partner and they seek revenge. The revenge goes bad and they force to work with the double crosses to face an even greater threat. It has a lot of factions going against each other. It is pretty good. Lot of this thing hence all if the plan actually make sense. That once everything is revealed does everything hold up if you read it again from the start. Lot of the times in these things it doesn’t. But here it all make sense. They knew the right amount of double crosses to do. They didn’t get to crazy and say “It was the DOG the whole time”. The art is very good, very colorful and it’s the atmosphere. Some of the powers pretty creative and the dialogue pretty crisp. I do wish they did more creative things with the powers and the setting. They didn’t really explore Vegas that much. It kind of could have taken place anywhere. I kind of wanted to scene with these guys just going to town on the Casino and either getting away or getting in trouble for it.  Of course that may because the character is smart enough not to pull that stuff. If it was me I probably end up got buried in a desert because I got blackjack 1000 times in row. But it still might have been fun to see. Also they didn’t use the power that much. The end also seem kind of rush. Think originally it was meant to be a longer miniseries and they missed some deadlines. Still its real fun story. The art was very good and colorful. It’s a very breezy read. Like if your order a nice heist flicks on Netflix.
