Matt Fagerholm RogerEbert.com One of the finest achievements of Hagins' adaptation is that none of her main characters can be defined by a reductive label. Rated: 3/4 Jan 6, 2017 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation A workable, salvageable caper comedy that needed more comedy and a heist picture that needed a bit more interesting content and character development outside of the heist. Rated: 2/4 Mar 26, 2022 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Teen heist movie explores ethical dilemmas; some profanity. Rated: 3/5 Jan 17, 2017 Full Review David James We Got This Covered Coin Heist is like Ocean's 11 meets The Breakfast Club, but minus the charm, character and ambition. Rated: 2/10 Jan 13, 2017 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson Forbes I suspect that in short order, you'll realize the real theft is of the minutes you could have spent doing something more productive.

Jamie B I do like watching heist movies and this one was surprisingly alright. The 4 main characters were good. Not a bad movie at all! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Flipper D Another teen movie played by too old 20 something actors with a lack lustre story line where the characters are more annoying than endearing Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Michael W This heist movie was pretty good. Alex Saxon, Sasha Pieterse, Alexis G, Zall, Jay Walker, Michael Cyril Creighton, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. The plot of the movie was dramatic, thrilling, and interesting. It's about doing something unexpected for your school when it's suffering financially. If you're a Netflix member, you might enjoy this movie if you decide to watch it. It wasn't spectacular, but it kept me interested. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/04/22 Full Review Audience Member Could have been so much better. I don't blame the young cast for this flop. The dialogue is terrible, but despite that, the actors showed some spark of talent. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Obviously the blonde is pregnant? Took away from the cuteness of a bunch of misfits stuck together .... ya know? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Strengths: I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love a good heist film. In some ways, this one reminded me of The Perfect Score, mostly due to the cast being high school students. I liked the twist on the usual heist film, in that this wasn't specially robbing a bank. These kids came up with a well thought out plan to break into the US Mint and didn't do it for selfish reasons. Jason (Alex Saxon) has a solid story arc, considering his father was the headmaster who embezzled, so it worked as a redemption of sorts. The scenes at the Mint were very well done. From the initial recon scene being tense to the actual break-in being filed with obstacles, they worked. Weaknesses: The movie gets too tied up in teen romance. Jason and Brainiac Alexis (Alexis G. Zail) had one, while popular Dakota (Sasha Pieterse) hooks up with blue collar Benny (Jay Walker). I understand the need for romantic side plots, but they become too big a piece of the overall puzzle and it ultimately bogs everything down. I found it weird that the bad guy, President of the Board Mr. Smerconish (Mark Blum), doesn't really get his comeuppance. He set up the headmaster to get in trouble and in the end, ends up with a nice chunk of change. You've also got to question some of the realism in this. These four high schoolers invade this government building with next to no security, getting past them with the greatest of ease. Overall: Like The Perfect Score, this high school heist film has some charming moments. It lacks some basic logic points and has a few too many romantic moments shoved in at strange times, but still features enough to make it worth checking out at least once.
