heist movie with a good story line

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2011)

This movie was above your average heist movie because the characters are a little more developed and the culture of their Boston neighborhood are brought into the movie. It is more than just watching how they are going to pull off the ultimate robbery. Doug is the head of the gang. He's smart and not a hot head like James. You know James' impulsiveness is going to come back and bite them in the bud.
So, they take a bank employee, Claire, as a hostage and decide to follow up and make sure she doesn't know anything. Doug ends up starting a relationship with her, but she doesn't know he was one of her robbers. As the movie goes along, the cops are getting closer as the gang continues to pull off robberies. The ending was neat with Doug surviving a seemingly impossible situation and helping Clarie in the end. However, I think the police would be very suspicious about a large cash donation being made in Doug's mother's name. I would think that cash would be confiscated by the police.
FINAL VERDICT: Check it out.
