They pulled it off...

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2004)

** Here be spoilers **
The last big heist. A former master-thief returns from retirement when the opportunity to steal a lot (and I mean a lot) of gold appears. The heist is highly successful but the group is betrayed, the gold taken and the old master-thief shot dead. Now it is time for revenge. However, the group that originally did the heist need help from the daughter of the dead thief.
Unfortunately, the movie in itself fails to produce any major surprises. One can sense some possibilities for plot-twists but they are never realized. In addition, the actors do not make any award-winning performances. None is bad, in my opinion, but they do not make anything extra out of it either. This doesn't mean the movie is bad. It is really entertaining to see the spectacular solutions the have to make their heist work. The stunts is good any the plot is entertaining even if it as mentioned fails to surprise. In addition, there are at least a few nice cinematic touches (or did I invent them for myself?) one might enjoy.
So, if you like heist-movies, or action in general this is a movie for you. If you really don't this is not the movie to start with to discover the genre.
Personally, I enjoyed it very much...
7/10
