William H. Macy wears a MTM

Three museum guards cannot stand the thought of their favorite pieces being shipped off to another collection, so they decide to steal them first. The Maiden Heist (2009), directed by Peter Hewitt, went straight to DVD and on-demand, a strange fate for a comedy starring William H. Macy, Morgan Freeman, and Christopher Walken. Macy plays George McLendon, the guard who has fallen for a sculpture of a nude Greek warrior. On his wrist is an MTM, a tactical quartz watch from the Los Angeles maker MTM Special Ops, the specific model unidentified.

A heavy military-spec watch on a mild-mannered guard quietly plotting to rob his own museum is a small incongruity, the kind this film keeps reaching for.
