Critics Consensus

This poorly executed brit crime caper wants to be a Guy Ritchie film, but ends up more like an extended Eastenders episode.

I thought that it was an excellent little thriller. Well acted and no unnecessary violence!

It began well then descended into farce.

Paris Leonti's debut feature film might not be original in any respect, but the director successfully takes a tried and true formula and makes it his own. Enhanced (not hindered) by its small budget, 'Daylight Robbery' is a consistently thrilling heist movie that provides some edge-of-the-seat tension, and could've benefited by more time devoted to fleshing out some of the characters. It is worth mentioning, however, that newcomer Robert Boulter (whose experience comes from some television work) steals the show. Unfairly annihilated by most critics, 'Daylight Robbery' is the perfect beer and pizza night movie.

Workable heist movie, but no real surprises in how they go about stealing the money.

A promising idea is let down by weak storytelling in this well-played but lacklustre Brit crime thriller. Acting is bad, Direction is bad, Not much is very good. I say SKIP IT!!!

London Evening Standard

This small-budget heist movie, though hardly very original, is at least made with complete professionalism.

Imagine a sort of Dog's Dinner Afternoon.

Daylight Robbery has the away day, the-sun-shines-outside-of-Walford feel of an Enders special. All told, a bit of a Regi Blinker.

While nicely acted and never less than watchable, Daylight Robbery is ultimately disappointing thanks to unsympathetic characters, some dodgy direction and a stifling lack of tension.

Total Film

Tonally it stumbles between laddish laughs and straight thrills, with the result that Leonti doesn't quite get away with it.

Sky Cinema

Tonally askew, comedically misjudged and drearily thuggish, this can be filed with any number of post-Lock, Stock caper comedies where psychopaths are portrayed as lovable geezers.
