El robo del siglo is an entertaining crime caper flick. The standard elements are present: for some unknown reason a large group of convicts get together to "mastermind" the crime of the century. Of course, knowing that they are all ex-cons provides good reason for suspecting that they will not end up pulling it off. The usual sequence of events follows the apprehension of one of the perpetrators.... They all fall like dominoes, but have been portrayed so sympathetically that the viewer feels happy when they are finally released from prison. A genre crime caper story, but pleasant enough.
