Too much of everything
Really Surprised!
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Simple based in actual true events, this actually takes quite a large pinch out salt in the its making, and the biggest theft is the steal from other movies. We have here a ragtag collection of men brought together by a more charismatic leader to make the steal of the century. The story is simple enough, but it's the acting and characters that keep your interest. There are a few good scenes such as a standoff in a pub which was tense.However, the storyline is poor, and quite frankly a poor derivative of various films it is trying to ape: Lock Stock, Layer Cake etc.The ending itself is a carbon copy of another film, so blatant a steal that quite frankly I'm surprised if legal action has never been considered.Anyhow, it's simply nothing special. Simple heist film, in one ear and out the other. Will pass the time but nothing more.
A travesty of a film. What could have been a great story about OAPs robbing Hatton Garden has been turned into a cheap by numbers cheeky cockney heist. The script is one that must have had the actors pissing razor blades, it is appalling. There are some excellent English actors in this; Phil Daniels, Larry Lamb; I was upset that they have been reduced to acting in this level of film. If you like early Guy Richie films do NOT be suckered into watching this facsimile of a film. Save your money & time and wallpaper the lounge.
This film could have been so much better if more time and effort was put into it. It feels very rushed in every way from the performances to the sound work and camera work. I think if it had a better cast maybe it could have been better I really would have liked to see Michael Caine or even Jason Statham. The film also wasn't very well written and it could have spent longer developing the characters more I think. Overall it wasn't terrible it just could have benefited from a larger budget it seems. It's not that long either so try it out if you like heist movies.
First off was the sound quality. I watched this film late at night and had to lower it up and down so as to not wake the neighbours with the dreadful music. Secondly, most of it was fiction and silly fiction at that.Thirdly, it looked very amateurish to me and finally it was a bit boring too. Let's hope the new version in production, holds a bit more excitement.
