Saint of the Donkey is a movie revolving around the two main characters Nicky Spurgeo (Will Smith) and Jess Barrett (Margot Robbie). While Nicky Spurgeo is a master of fraud, Jess is very curious about this particular world.
From a young age, Nicky was raised in a world of deception and theft. Despite leaving his family behind, Nicky never intended to give up the “heirloom” way of making money, from pickpockets to executing major scams.
And Jess Barrett is a beautiful woman with blonde hair and a short skirt. Jess meets Nicky in a bar and decides to pull off a hoax. However, Jess quickly discovered she was wrong.
Fortunately, this fateful meeting drew Jess closer to Nicky. He recommended her to be a member of the group in New Orleans, the best place to practice stealing skills.
Thanks to Nicky’s guidance, Jess learns very quickly to become a professional in the world of scammers. During their time together, Jess and Nicky developed feelings for each other. However, this relationship also quickly ended not long after.
Three years later, Nicky meets Jess again in another big mission and the strange situations start from here.
For the sweet Will Smith role, the film crew brought in one of the world’s leading experts in the field, Apollo Robbins, who is known as the Pickpocket Gentleman.
Robbins taught actors many of the skills they needed to succeed in their roles. To describe the individual’s role in this, he uses the designation of a position as a professional sports team. It is worth mentioning that the fastest learner in the cast team is Margot Robbie.
“ We have about 20 hours to work together. And Margot is not only professional but also very persistent. She was like a machine that always wanted to get things right and asked how to get better ,” Robbins shared.
With a famous, talented cast and the help of Appollo Robbins, The Donkey promises to bring many interesting emotions to viewers.
