i was very pleasantly surprised with how good this was considering my fairly low expectations. it was an interesting concept with good twists and execution until the ending. the decision to have the flashback after the resolution does not make any sense and was terrible for the pacing. also the based on a true story style of this is where they are now felt out of place after this style of movie. overall worth the watch

Watched it for Daddy Theo and Aaron Taylor and was not disappointed by the face card🙂↕️ the movie was amazing, the plot thickened with each new twist to the storyline and it had you guessing if they will truly get caught until the end.
Overall 9/10

Ehhhhh, it’s alright, 6/10 has betrayal for your betrayal, but not enough fan service, jk that’s not what the movie is supposed to be about! lol Aaron Taylor-Johnson woooow. Idk, I think the plot was pretty boring, but it was at least relatively fast-paced. It was interesting to see all the puzzle pieces clicking into place. I was hoping to see a more traumatic reveal for the major's backstory, but it was pretty disappointing, like, oh, okay

Wholly unoriginal but pretty enjoyable. Non-existent characterizations; everything is in service of the plot. Entertaining first half with an all-over-the-place second. Presented with a QnA with Theo James (he’s even hotter in person)

Genuinely the most baffling 3rd act switch-up of all time. I have no clue how no one spoke out about how piss poor of a creative choice it was.
Not sure what’s happened to David Mackenzie since Hell or High Water, but his quality of films has taken a huge decline. To be clear, the first 2/3 of this film are fine - nothing special, but utterly watchable - putting it more in line with last year’s Relay, but it’s still a major step-down from what’s he proven capable of.
Worst case scenario, which it is, you get a fun Theo James performance - he gets to do an accent! Greek I believe - although you’d be forgiven for getting it confused with South African. Sam Worthington is wasted like he is everywhere and by everyone, except Cameron with the Avatar movies. Johnson gives an incredibly phoned in effort.
“A Sky Original” fits this film like a glove, it tries to merge two different concepts that simply don’t fit. If it kept to its original concept, this would have been a far, far better affair.

I felt like this film had an identity crisis, like it really didn’t know what it wanted to be. An action film, a heist film, a buddy film. You don’t even know who to root for, because the people you thought were good, weren’t.

7.5/10, pretty chill watch. Good cast. Short movie so it’s a very easy watch too.

As heist flicks go, this one is unusual in that there is almost too much detail on the mechanics of the job at the expense of character development and story, but that's a refreshing problem in the genre.

Good heist movie, great cast. Maybe some plot holes but very entertaining

8/10 Fast-tempo thrill ride, enjoyed the story and great cast. Both Johnson/James work well together. Recommend.

I kept getting confused on who I was supposed to like and hate. The ending was weird as well and goes this is a great place to end the movie and it just stops.
