User Reviews

not your average Bank Heist movie

I went in to watch this with absolutely no information, and I liked it.

most of it takes place inside, or just outside, the Bank. a woman is desperate to get an immediate loan, and not even a robbery will stop her.

it's not your average rehash of bank heist tropes. the robbers are damaged people who behave supremely idiotically. the police are "soft" compared to what one has come to expect from other similar movies. a wordplay is being used as a major plot device (it helps if you speak spanish, but it's not necessary). there's a minor twist halfway through that I honestly did not see coming.

this is not a movie that will change your life, but if you're tired of movies where you can guess the plot twists and the ending 20 minutes in, you'll enjoy it.
