About
If you enjoy light, twist-filled capers with slick thieves, a bit of flirtation, and a “one last job” vibe, this may hit the spot; Not for you if you want gritty realism or high suspense like Heist.
Pros: fun, twisty heist setup; strong lead performances; brisk, easy watch | Cons: familiar, cliché story; uneven pacing early on; low tension at times
