From the trailer the story seemed like a great plot. Unfortunately the mediocre story telling stopped me from watching it halfway through. I do like the cast tho.

I enjoyed this movie in spite of itself. It seemed so determined to rush through its run time with very little thought to pacing or character development. Both of these things are forced upon viewers with heavy handed dialogue. I’m supposedI enjoyed this movie in spite of itself. It seemed so determined to rush through its run time with very little thought to pacing or character development. Both of these things are forced upon viewers with heavy handed dialogue. I’m supposed to believe Highmore’s character is super intelligent and can figure any issue out in the moment because we’re TOLD he solved an oil spill problem, which they never show us, and is being courted by oil companies? The one “big” turn or twist in this movie wasn’t all that impressive or emotional, but I still found the movie taught and somewhat intense given the situations all the characters get into. Liam Cunningham is great, but like his fellow actors his character falls into too many film tropes leaving his screen time flat. I’d say that’s mostly a dialogue issue as the script and concept here is pretty cool as far as bank job movies go. If you are looking for something that will somewhat satisfy a heist genre craving and won’t ever go off the rails it’s traveling then this is okay.… Expand

Freddie Highmore always reminds me of Asa Butterfield, since they both always play the same quirky guy.
So it's very difficult to pay attention to him when he wants to be something else, and this for the mere fact that he just can't do it.Freddie Highmore always reminds me of Asa Butterfield, since they both always play the same quirky guy.

To create tension and excitement you need a pulsating rhythm, and Balagueró can't do it.
And to make matters worse, his cast doesn't help him because their performances are so unconvincing.

it's a no from me.… Expand

The idea was good, but I didn't get some plot parts of it - like why the genius guy agreed so easily to some guys stealing stuff from bank. They said nowhere they will do good deeds with it afterwards.

They said nowhere they will do good deeds with it afterwards. I would get it if they would have some good cause plan but this felt like just for their own gain. That felt a bit weird for me plot wise. Other thing - the story itself and the heist felt kinda same old same old if you have seen many heist movies. Not much to it and seemed very simplistic (of course he solved engineering miracle of century but it was shown so matter of fact that it felt boring)… Expand
