• Trois amis ont créé leur club privé Foolproof, où ils planifient en secret les cambriolages high-tech les plus impossibles, mais ce n'est pour eux qu'un exercice intellectuel amusant. Cela devient moins drôle lorsqu'un malfrat venu d'Angleterre vole leur toute dernière idée, l'exécute avec succès et les menace de les livrer à la police s'ils refusent de collaborer avec lui à un autre plan machiavélique.
• SYNOPSIS "Foolproof" :
• Kevin, Sam and Rob are founding members of Foolproof, a club where, through high-tech, meticulously thought-out and executed plans, impossible heists are pulled off – in theory, that is. But all that changes when Leo, a cutthroat gangster, blackmails them into actually carrying out a multi-million-dollar robbery. Kevin, Sam and Rob have no choice – they need a foolproof plan to pull off Leo's heist and, ultimately, to get out alive.

Kevin, Sam and Rob have no choice - they need a foolproof plan to pull off Leo's heist, and ultimately, to get out alive.
• Bill House stated: "'Foolproof' is an exciting and entertaining caper film - expertly written by William Phillips. With Phillips' evident skill as a director of nuanced performances, demonstrated in 'Treed Murray,' and a great cast featuring Ryan, David, Kristin and Joris, Alliance Atlantis and its great group of partners will deliver a film that Canadians will relate to, as will audiences from around the world. 'Foolproof' is a great ride for an audience. The ride starts here and now."

• His first feature credit was in the Canadian film, Ordinary Magic (1993) where he played the lead character, Jeffrey, a Canadian boy raised in India.
• By the time he was 18, Reynolds moved down to L.A. to expand his résumé. After working on several telefilms including Serving the Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Reynolds landed a co-starring role on the surprise hit sitcom, Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place playing Berg.
• Using the exposure from the series, Reynolds moved on to more feature film work, most notably Coming Soon (1999), Dick (1999), and Buying the Cow (2001). Reynolds took the spotlight once again after landing the lead role in the film National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002).

• Date of Birth: August 28, 1978

• Her television debut was playing a cheerleader on an episode of Discovery Channel’s Exhibit A, followed by roles in TV movies. Her feature film debut was a small part in Gossip (2000) starring Kate Hudson, followed by a role as a cashier in Detroit Rock City (1999), which, although filmed later, was released first. Her big break came when she landed the lead role of Tracey Grace in Daring & Grace: Teen Detectives, a 1999 Canadian TV series. Luckily, her career survived a regular role in the Canadian soap Paradise Falls (2001-2002), which was widely panned for the campy acting and terrible scripts. Booth bounced back with a number of TV movies filmed in Toronto, including A Mother’s Fight for Justice (2001) starring Meredith Baxter, Two Against Time (2002) starring Marlo Thomas, and Salem Witch Trials (2002) starring Kirstie Alley, Peter Ustinov and Shirley MacLaine.
