Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 2, 2021 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...it's difficult, for the most part, not to get drawn into the progressively over-the-top twists and turns contained within. Rated: 3/4 Feb 13, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins A fascinating look at criminals, their equally corrupt counterparts on the opposite side of the law, and many a gray-area hoodlum.

Audience Member Plots ans acting werent that good. Looking on my watch... shot of a clock... train drives off.. tense music.. and there from around the corner the guy comes. But still fun. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Giorgio G For years I had been under the illusion that I had seen this flick, but I must have actually missed it back then as I now finally realized. I guess it must have been released while we were on our 4 month trip through Europe in 2008. Anyway I quite enjoyed it, eventually tonight. I do like the occasional bank heist movie, though always reminding myself that they are fictional. When it comes to real ones I get rather upset as in the end the customers will have to cover the damage with higher fees in the future, if not for their bank, but their insurance company. Thus I should actually really despise this movie as it's based on a real robbery in 1971. But as one result of it was the exposure of corrupt policemen and politicians, and many of the safety deposit boxes owners refusing to explain the contents, thus showing that they were hiding dirty wealthes as well, the final outcome was a delight for society as a whole, and me. The director of the movie could have been better, I'd say, but all in all it's quite a decent flick, well worth spending those nearly 2 hours on it. 7/10 points Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Noneya B Pretty good, I'll watch it again at some point. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Dan R Great movie, not to different from another heist or bank robbing movie, just love Jason Statham on screen presence. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review John K Great movie based ob a true story , the acting , great overall Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 51 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
