USA Today - Claudia Puig : Well-paced, smartly told and unpretentious, this solid British heist thriller also has moments of invention and imagination. more...

It is a total crap! Portrayal of characters by the actors are so dull that they appear to be a bunch of caricatures.
It was a fun story and kept my attention throughout. The whole story was interesting. Most normal people will like this movie. It does have some nudity and violence so leave mom at home with the kids.
The movie is a good attempt on the part of the director to make a dramatic representation of the true historic account of bank robbers who have carried on the act of robbery at the Loyds of London bank in September , 1971. Keep up the good work!
The direction , acting is much below my expectation. With the hope of creating something a thing of attraction for the audiences exposed nudity as well as violence depiction looks like a creation of an amateur.
i loved the movie as it was based on a true story. because of the direction Jason Statham had something different to do than usual. it wasn't really a waste of time in the theatre!
