There is nothing like a good heist movie.... sadly I can't use my great joke "and this is nothing like a good heist movie" because it actually is good. A group of criminals rob a bank in clever fashion, but these are no ordinary criminals. They are best buddies who only perform a robbery once a year and then once they get their money, they invest it in the stock market and even give a slice to charity. You know they are nice criminals because one of them sends his sister to rehab with his stolen money and another wants to open up a club. Who says all criminals are bad guys? not the people who made this film, that's for sure. Four years earlier, a heist went wrong and one (now former) member of the gang "Ghost" was shot and caught, then sent to jail. He is released the same day that the gang do the bank job and finds his old buddies with a brand new job for them to get rich on. The snag is that they only have five days to prepare the robbery of an armored car instead of the normal year. Is "Ghost" wanting to make up with his friends and give them an easy job or is he setting them up for a fall since they let him rot in jail for four years? To make things more personal, Ghost's ex-girlfriend is now dating another gang member. Oh yeah, and just to up the cliche factor, the gang are being trailed by a grizzled cop who has no friends, has lost his wife thanks to the job, beats up suspects and is a bad father (but is a great cop) Yet despite all of the old chestnuts involved, this is still a very good film. There is the usual planning of the heist (which I am a sucker for) and an excellent chase scene (parkour style) that is the highlight of the movie. There are a few predictable twists and turns, a large firefight and yet still you want to keep watching to see what happens at the end. This movie actually has a lot going for it in the fun stakes and it is well worth a view on a Saturday night.Read full review
