When Simon witnesses a serious crime, he is unlucky enough to get framed for murder by a crooked cop. The only way he can prove his innocence is to break into a bank vault where the crucial evidence is stored. To do that, Simon must persuade the only three criminals he has successfully rehabilitated to return to their dishonest lives to help him rob the bank. -- © 2002 Universal Pictures [More]

Reviews for The Parole Officer
Coogan é um comediante excepcional – assim, mesmo trabalhando com um roteiro mediano (de sua própria autoria), consegue arrancar algumas boas risadas.
Combining all the best elements of home-grown rom-coms and gangster capers, this breathes fresh life into both genres.
An intermittently hilarious vehicle for British TV star Steve Coogan.
