Frank is a retired cat burglar. His family is concerned about him because he has developed memory problems. Like the library that he loves so much, he is a relic of a bygone era. This film is a sci-fi flick that is light on sci-fi. I like these type of films which use sci-fi elements as a backdrop against which to tell a good story. Thumbs up for humor, an interesting story, a great starring actor (Frank Langella) and an interesting concept. Thumbs down for the all-too-close-to-a-typical Hollywood ending.
