About
You might like this if you enjoy heist stories with a paranoid surveillance hook and a 1970s crime vibe, somewhere between Ocean's Eleven and The Italian Job; Not for you if you want nonstop action or a tight, modern pace.
Pros: clever surveillance angle; exciting late heist; strong ensemble cast | Cons: slow first half; uneven suspense; dated or awkward moments
