【Down Town】

The Down Townceiling escape attempt: Great for action stars, less so for normal people.

That's the lesson learned from this bananas CCTV footage taken from a Canadian convenience store where an attempt to evade local police ended with a hole in the ceiling.

In a clip obtained by CTV News (that Deadspin astutely noted seems "magnificently, almost suspiciously well-edited,") a man and a woman are under arrest for, per CTV News, trying to check out with a stolen credit card.

The clip begins as an officer is attempting to take the man into custody. From there, it just escalates, culminating in a pile of broken ceiling tile by the coffee counter.

According to CTV, the pair were arrested shortly afterward.

While we don't condone pretty much any of this, we'll give a little bit of credit to this woman for her extremely bold attempt at a Hollywood-style great escape. Almost had it!
