Stealing Rembrandt (2003)

In the shadowy underbelly of Denmark, four unlikely criminals conspire to perform a daring heist in a local museum, their sights set on a simple painting. Mick, a seasoned thief with a past as colorful as his ex-porn star wife Trine, heads the haphazard crew. His son, Tom, a failing thief himself, their perpetually gambling-addicted friend Kenneth, and Jimmy, an eccentric cartoon enthusiast, round out this band of misfits. Their plan, orchestrated for a businessman emotionally connected to the artwork, goes wildly awry when they mistakenly pilfer Denmark's unique and priceless Rembrandt. Suddenly, they find themselves clutching millions in their grubby hands, a far cry from the couple of bucks they initially sought. However, their windfall becomes a curse as they grapple with the daunting task of turning their ill-gotten masterpiece into a fortune. Ironically, their dreams of escaping the clutches of their mundane problems and debts only multiply. Simultaneously, an unorthodox detective named Bæk, who doesn't play by the rulebook, relentlessly pursues the thieves. With no leads, he relies on his razor-sharp instincts and relentless determination to bring the oddball criminals to justice. As the tension mounts, the painting and the potential windfall from its sale become catalysts, amplifying their personal problems rather than resolving them. "Stealing Rembrandt" is a chaotic, humorous, and thrilling romp through the murky world of small-time crime, where one wrong painting can turn a simple heist into a life-altering escapade. Will this motley crew manage to cash in on their unexpected windfall, or will their ambition lead them down a path they never intended to traverse?
