An energetic, labyrinthian caper comprised with enough plot twists, cliches and suspense to recommend to heist fans who know what they're going to get. Final Grade: B

Pretty freaking cool. I love heist movies and this is a good one. Jason Statham was good like usual and the story was solid. Check it out. |

it had an interesting plot and plenty twist. Nothing too unexpected. And nothing that would make you cuff your hand over your eyes. I'm not a big fan of movies with multiple sex scenes and blackmail but this one i kinda enjoyed. It was ok |

A heist film with unexpected twists |
|
A goo heist film that is a bit more complicated then some. I like the fact that it is hardly about just the bank robbery and that it is actually complex story. I do not know the exact amount of accuracy but I like the fact that it is based on a true story. The addition of the government story really adds to the whole think and makes it much better and a lot less simple. |

Not Guy |
|
I went to the movies thinking this was a new Guy Richie flick. It isn't. But I wasn't disappointed: the filming style and plot structures are similiar.
There was one fight scene that was a bit silly and out of place in the rest of the flick, but Statham probably had it in his contract that he had to kick someone. |

Really Enjoyable |
|
This is one of the best heist films to come out of recent years. Instead of being another polished caper movie like “The Italian Job” (which I liked a lot), this is more gritty and more realistic, which makes it that much more interesting. There were a lot of scenes where I found myself either nearly falling off the couch or biting my nails because the characters are always placed in some form of danger. I’m surprised by the pace of this picture: the actual bank robbery was already done fifty minutes into it; the real drama comes after the crime–which is a bold and quite brilliant strategy of storytelling. Each of the character that robbed the bank was featured in some way before the job so the audience got to know them at least a little bit so we care what would happen to them later on. ... |
