The people rating this movie well must not watch many movies. There has been some really great heist / bank robbery movies over the years, and this is not one of them. The scenes come at you in a boring and predictable fashion. One cliché after another. I wanted to like the film. I was expecting something with sizzling action and unexpected plot twists, but it just wasn't there. Very little character development left me not caring at all about some of the leads. This is all too common in many movies today. The directors are so intent on getting to the "fun stuff" that the groundwork isn't covered. Anyway, I'm not going to waste any more time reviewing a movie that wasted my time.
