Brilliant crime action movie

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2016)

An amazing film. Has stunning battle sequences, culminating in the airport scene which was perhaps not as spectacular as other action sequences but still manages to be brilliant. The bank robbing scene is fantastic and feels very real and you can almost believe it is happening as you watch it.
You almost want De Niro to get away with it all and ride off into the sunset at the end, even though he and his criminal buddies have done some terrible things throughout their time including bank robbing and killing whoever got in the way. The 'humanising' relationship that he has really does endear you to the criminal though, despite knowing what he has done and is doing throughout the film.
An all time favorite, this movie is one of those movies you can watch again at any time and still be entertained. I only hope that something can get made continuing in the 'universe' that has some of the actors who didn't die in the film. A reboot with Natalie Portman as a main character perhaps?
