Things are tough in New York since 9/11. Your photo ID has to match what you actually look like. Fences are picky about what stolen stuff they’ll fence. A forged green card is expensive. Nobody is paying up on their debts, even to gun-packing, bling-wearing gangstas. But the local fence has a safe rumored to have all sorts of valuables inside it, so three separate groups of criminals set their sights on it, all on the same night. “Capers” blends homages, references, and straight-up ripoffs of everything from Eisenstein to heist movies modern and classic, all with a cheerfully surreal flavor that brings everything together perfectly.
