Elias Savada Film International So either thank or curse the British Empire for unleashing Ashens and the Polybius Heist. For me? Pandemic be damned - empty your head and enjoy! Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A charmingly nerdy movie that's aimed squarely at the Comic-Con set and is made by geeks, for geeks, and starring geeks. Rated: 3.5 / 5 Nov 19, 2020 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness Polybius Heist is as much a straight heist flick as it is a farce of the subgenre in a way that feels directly in line with the ridiculousness of a Zucker Bros. comedy mashed up with a Monty Python sketch. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 19, 2020 Full Review Lucy Buglass Lucy Goes to Hollywood Ashens and the Polybius Heist is a love letter to nerds, bringing this urban legend to life in a playful, yet sometimes serious way. Rated: 4/5 Nov 19, 2020 Full Review Ed Fortune Starburst This feature is a geeky, funny feast; Spaced for the YouTube and 8-bit generation. More like this please. Rated: 5/5 Nov 17, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Alister L Funny. Oh and one of the best movies I have ever seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this film was pants. The acting was poor, and the screenplay was equally matched. Also, I was appalled that they cast the ACTUAL Yorkshire Ripper in this film. What's worse, he wasn't funny and couldn't act. Shameful… utterly shameful… Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A fantastic, nerdy dive into a heist comedy. Great acting and amazing direction from the team behind The Quest for The Game Child. I know this film was mostly crowd-funded but it stands as a truly professional and top notch film, easily worthy of a studio production! I eagerly await the third film, because at this rate it's going to be an absolute blinder! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best movies I've seen in years. A perfect heist movie featuring a wonderful cast of characters. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I recived item on time in good codition.looks guod 5strs Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent comedy! The jokes fly fast and furious, and there is never really a dull moment. This is an Indy film and the production values are top notch for that category. I highly recommend this film!
