April, 2015. A group of retirement age career criminals pull off an audacious multi-million dollar heist at the Hatton Garden safe deposit company in London, England.
Director/co-writer Terry Lee Coker relates the absorbing story at a snappy pace, takes time to develop the characters, maintains an engaging matter-of-fact tone throughout, and further spices things up with an amusing sense of cheeky humor. The big gig is quite tense, precise, and exciting.
The fine acting from the sturdy cast keeps this movie humming: Michael McKell as the brash Basil, Sidney Livingstone as the tubby, but resolute Brian Reader, Robert Putt as the scrappy Terry Perkins, James Osborne as the tough Daniel Jones, and Sidney Kean as the antsy John Collins. Moreover, the old guys' need to go out with some kind of bang gives this picture some extra depth and pathos. A worthwhile movie.
