      Audience Member Not too bad a movie despite Sean Bean's attempt at a Cockney accent. Reasonably good casting once you get over that. Some of the characters names vary from reality, for legal reasons obviously, so I was a little distracted from the film as I tried to work out who they were meant to be. Respectable amount of violence for a gritty British heist movie of the era and I didn't feel like it was an hour and a half wasted. It's just a shame there couldn't of been a happier ending. In the movie and real life. If you are interested the best version of the story with the perfect balance of real footage, original reenactment and talking heads imho is the Blast Films version made for Channel 4 called 'Brinks Mat - The Greatest Heist'.
