About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like slick, interview-driven true crime with heist details and moral debate, similar to Heist or This Is a Robbery: The World's Greatest Art Heist; Not for you if you dislike stories that seem to romanticize criminals.
Pros: fast-paced true-crime story; interviews from both sides; engaging archival footage | Cons: feels like criminal glorification; victims’ perspective limited; uneven, meandering structure
