About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tight, talky bank-heist thriller with constant pressure and moral tension in a small setting; Not for you if you need nonstop action or big set pieces like The Italian Job.
Pros: nail-biting suspense; sharp dialogue; strong lead performances | Cons: limited action; mostly one location; ending feels weaker
