Analysis

Though the movie has a good cast and had come with quite a lot of expectations it doesn’t have the sufficient charm to attract us. The movie seems to have drawn inspiration from a real crime happening: the Loomis Fargo robbery of 1997. During that juncture it was one of the biggest cash robberies done in US.

What’s there?

The characters are dressed up in weird costumes and this reflects the innocent humour streak of the director.

What’s not there?

Some of the scenes make us wonder whether the guys are really masterminds; their acts have some clues leaving behind.
Sometimes we get confused as to what genre the movie belongs; a farce comedy or an engrossing crime thriller.

Verdict

You can watch this movie if you have nothing much to do in the weekend.
