Joe Simple based in actual true events, this actually takes quite a large pinch out salt in the its making, and the biggest theft is the steal from other movies. We have here a ragtag collection of men brought together by a more charismatic leader to make the steal of the century. The story is simple enough, but it's the acting and characters that keep your interest. There are a few good scenes such as a standoff in a pub which was tense.However, the storyline is poor, and quite frankly a poor derivative of various films it is trying to ape: Lock Stock, Layer Cake etc.The ending itself is a carbon copy of another film, so blatant a steal that quite frankly I'm surprised if legal action has never been considered.Anyhow, it's simply nothing special. Simple heist film, in one ear and out the other. Will pass the time but nothing more.

William Corden... read 'em and weep But this movie just didn't deliver the goods, the goods were in the hands of the thieves and stayed there.I love cockney acting , I love the realism of the pub scenes and the back kitchens of the homes. All of this is set up in the opening couple of minutes and you're settling into your chair in anticipation of a great movie telling a great story.It had some funny moments I must say, but there wasn't much in the way of character development and I was left with the feeling that the whole crew lost interest half way through.The sub plots could have been developed a bit more, but again the Director didn't seem to care about explaining them to the audience and to be honest I didn't quite understand what they were about ( although I did walk away for five minutes to make myself a sandwich). My understanding wasn't any clearer by the end of the movie which meant I had to search through the internet to clarify what went on. That's not a good way to tell a story on the screen.A successful caper like cleaning out a safety deposit box vault should translate into a thrilling movie but although these guys pulled the job off, the translators weren't able to pull it off with the final product.

Michael Ledo Seems they can't make enough films about King Arthur and the Hatton Garden Heist. This is inspired/based on the true story of an over-the-hill gang who drilled into the wall of London's most prestigious private vault. I have seen a couple of films on this heist, and while this one wasn't grossly bad, it wasn't as good at the others. Knowing what was going to happen didn't help. The characters were not as deep or colorful as is needed for a new film on the topic.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

johncromwell-69493 Disappointed that Michael Caine and Ray Winston were not in this film. Sad they didn't keep to the true story and the details. It was in 2015 and not 2016, Looks like it was a rush job to get this film out. They probably would of took more notice if they picked quality actors. disappointed.
