Story doesn't work, too many shotcuts, loop hole.

Rating: 1/10 (5 November 2016)

Too many caricatural mannerisms, the black man inspector who wears on his hat and his trendy suit, two black men acolytes, talking on the phone with his girlfriend, the classic references to my girlfriend wants an expensive ring, the old secretive bank chairman who made a fortune dealing with the Nazi, the blond ambitious cut throat lawyer.
Let's be clear: this is not a realistic scenario. There are so many unbelievable, improbable scenes that just cannot happen and make a heist successful. Are you telling me that the Police cannot figure out who sponsored the bank robbery ? What kind of robbers would siege in the MTB, spend 13hours in there just to breech a hole and set up a stash ? How exactly do these cons know what apparently only the chairman knows the content of his keep ? Sounds awful weird.
Then, please, the whole exchange between cons and Wasington and Foster, what is this ? A soap opera?
There is nothing in this movie that would make this heist in reality successful. In no way would security cameras implode, the Police would be alerted immediately by the Security company that immediately gets a signal if the Bank under heist. Seriously, are they trying to convince us that this establishment has multiple flaws in their CPU security equipments ? BS!
Now many people have already pointed the inaccuracies and movie-mistakes. First the fact that the brief-case held by the Cheik priest was not carefully inspected. I can't believe a squad would not search for a device - please! This is taking us for imbeciles. Then, there is no way the bank robbers would be able to stay so long in the bank and hope to just run out the front door without being exposed! All the hostages would recognize them, the tapes would basically prove who are the thief, multiple evidence would be at hand for the Police to figure out the cons. How can four robbers, if not terrorists, could possibly be convinced they could handle so easily the entire NYPD department ? But miraculously the head chief of negotiators would call it off ? Come one, this is bad. Plus I don't see how in the end Owen is capable of so simply walking out without being busted - it just doesn't work ! It's laughable.
The actors play themselves, they don't embody the characters at all, they simply reproduce their most well known mechanical mannerisms that made them so famous for throughout their career. There is very few insight and plot development, only at the end for 30seconds and very predictable. It's so poorly done, between the fast forward and the flashback, it is very incoherent. Mostly it is trying to make the cons so much more smarter than the cops.
