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.
