a team was formed by 4 friends n brothers. together they planned out bank robberies, which were to be accomplished once every year. just recently had an successful attempt, the team was enjoying a luxurious life while confronted by their formal member. Ghost was just released from the prison, approached n convinced them to attack an armored car, which carried large amount of money, in less than a week. some were unsure, others tempted by the money, they finally ended up plotting their strategy, not knowing that they were closely watched by a police officer.
like The Town (2010), it was again about bank robberies. a theme seemed to suddenly flooded the cinema. unfortunately, the film failed to present the unexpected with the flow going so obvious. the ending however, had us feeling much more satisfied compare to The Town (2010). death for some members were unavoidable, thus making the scene so dreadfully painful. however, betrayal made revenge n the success of getting away so much more sweeter.

ReplyDeletehaha, for themselves indeed! i would say this plot is getting rather typical.
but many viewers seems to like that kind of plot, right?
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched the film, but I do like the cast.
ReplyDeleteTakers turned out to be a decent heist movie. They have not done all that was all original. It was fairly predictable.

ReplyDeletefor its action maybe, but i doubt it was for the plot.
