With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at people who root for the clever crook and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. Half the pleasure is trying to spot the trick before the reveal. Fans of The Asphalt Jungle or Heat should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1952: an older pace and style.
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
A pastry-shop girl sees a priest's and a lawyer's brother take part in a jewel heist.
