A thief out of prison is handed a suit that shrinks him, by a man who wants a burglary done and cannot do it himself.
After a film about a killer robot and a global extinction event, this one is about breaking into a building. That scale is the point: it is funnier, lighter, and the stakes are a father trying to be allowed near his daughter.
The shrinking is used properly, as a problem to solve rather than as a power to win with, and the film keeps finding new jokes in the fact that a very small man in a very ordinary room is still in danger.
