This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This "heist" movie made no sense in the end, the Black mob boss let's the guy go, WITH 5k AFTER being out 25k for his initial ineptitude AND 50k to pay off the cops? Why would he do this "deal"? For his notebook? Then why would he let him go? Also, the writers crack said by Cheadle with a sarcastic eyeroll "stein yeah I can see how that's a disadvantage", where this was set in 1950's less than 10 years after 6 million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis. What a weird bit of antisemitism plugged in there at the end. The style of this movie was there, but the substance was garbage. Expand

On the positive side, it's a top shelf cast delivering solid performances and the film looks good, but you've seen better work from all the actors elsewhere. It's interesting, at first, to try to figure out the puzzling web of characters and their motivations until you learn you can tell the heroes from the bad guys and losers simply by skin color. Easy! Gender too. They even tossed in a couple lesbians, for no apparent reason other than extra virtue signaling by the filmmakers. It makes the whole thing very predictable and self-congratulatory. Ultimately, and in retrospect, a lot of it, especially the ending, is nonsensical, but that's true of so many movies, it's hard to knock this one in particular. But I can knock it for failing to deliver anything interesting, unique, or memorable. Expand

A really sloppy, incredibly boring heist movie starring and directed by big names. It was really hard to finish this movie, another form of “content” I feel unsure reviewers actually watched.

The ingredients were right but the outcome was dull and a bit puzzling. The characters weren't fleshed out, they were simply picked up and sent off, so it was hard to invest yourself.

Well acted but the story ultimately goes nowhere and feels painfully unoriginal. The characters are just too shallow to get behind and there is only so much the talented cast can do.

He had said he would retire after the two seasons of "The Knick" (2014-15), but he still wanders around with his misanthropy under the illusion, as already too many times, that it is entertaining. An unbearable tedium that further increases the planetary furnace temperature. At the stake.
