Smooth Criminals Shorts

Ok, some of these criminals are smooth, while some are not entirely smooth. In fact, you might even call them rough criminals, or abrasive criminals, or serrated edge or even unsmooth criminals! But criminals you will see and that is, after all, what you came for, right? For fun, during the screening, grab the person next to you and whisper, “Annie are you OK, are you OK, are you OK Annie?” It will really break the tension, and possibly a few blood vessels in your face. Worth it!!
