Freddie Highmore ("The Good Doctor") and Famke Janssen (X-Men) star in this globe-trotting, action-packed thriller following a high-risk heist. When an engineer (Highmore) learns of a mysterious, impenetrable fortress hidden under The Bank of Spain, he joins a crew of master thieves who plan to steal the legendary lost treasure locked inside while the whole country is distracted by Spain's World Cup Final. With thousands of soccer fans cheering in the streets, and security forces closing in, the crew have just minutes to pull off the score of a lifetime. Also starring Astrid Berges-Frisbey (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) and Liam Cunningham ("Game of Thrones").

Critics Consensus

Its runtime passes painlessly enough, but The Vault's slickly engineered thrills are dulled by familiarity.

Adam Graham

Detroit News

The scene, the setting and the characters are all familiar, but "The Vault" moves nimbly and efficiently through the motions. Consider this bank job a score.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

Liam Cunningham and Freddie Highmore lead the sparkling cast of thieves just crazy enough to try to claim treasure buried deep under the Bank of Spain.

Enjoyed it. Not quite as good as the Oceans movies but still worth a watch.

Pretty boring, follows the heist formula without ever raising the stakes to a point where I cared what happened to anyone. The "twist" was pretty obvious from early on.

This film was something I truly enjoyed. I found that the characters were able carry the plot beautifully. I found this a inspirational, exciting and thought provoking experience. The strength of the characters was something unique and fresh. I am surprised with the amount of trash reviews, I for one dont beleive it was deserved.

Though not a particularly unique heist movie, The Vault is hooking and beautiful enough to be enjoyable for many.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Confusing ending sort of ruined it. I also didn't think there was very much engineering prowess at all, and would have enjoyed more scientific technicality (and I'm no engineer). Also extremely predictable double cross, as well as romance.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
