El robo del siglo

Very exciting, excellent actors, a must see ! It is based in true events but that is not the important thing. It's a fun movie of a good director.

The film is based on real events that were made to be turned into a movie. It totally captivates your attention, and the whole film flies by without boring you, not even for a second. Beautifully shot, well written, with some jokes nicely placed and some action moments that make you sympathize with the robbers, and with some of the best actors in the country it becomes a trully great film. I would recommend it to everyone, no matter how familiar they are with the events. It has all the factors to be considered a solid good movie 10/10

This is one of the few Argentinian movies I've ever watched, so I'm not exactly aware of the overall quality of their output. Anyhow, this film is a surprisingly high quality Hollywood quality film, shot wonderfully with plenty of action camera work that would not feel out of place in a (low-key) summer blockbuster.

This film is a throwback to films I can remember stemming from the 70s & 80s, of a bank heist. It isn't Ocean's 11/12/13 etc but really imagine if your mad but smart left-field uncle decided to concoct a crazy plan with his mates to rob a bank and you get the gist. The film does comedy & crime well together.

This film is based on a true story (but admits to taking some liberties), and that is its strength & weakness. As it's based on fact, it's uncomfortable the way it pans out, as you are meant to be fully empathise with the team, and there is no moral or Robin Hood aspect to any of them despite comments in the movie of the like. I'm sure those who were affected by the bank robbery didn't see the funny side. This is no Dog Day Afternoon (probably the best in the genre).

It's a fine movie, and I loved the actors as much as the comedy which surprisingly translated well across the subtitles. It's a good evening movie, and one you'll enjoy but in some ways still leaves an unwanted taste in the mouth. If you can get past that, then you'll enjoy it even more than I ever will.

"The Heist of the Century" is a Biography - Action movie in which we watch a group of thieves robbing the Banco Río branch in Acassuso in 2006. This is considered the most smart and famous bank heist of Argentina.

I enjoyed this movie because it was based on a real story and it was very interesting. The plot was also interesting and it contained plenty of information regarding the robbery and how it was performed. The direction which was made by Ariel Winograd was good and he succeeded on presenting very well both his main characters and the plot. The interpretations of Diego Peretti who played as Fernando Araujo, Guillermo Francella who played as Luis Mario Vitette Sellanes, Mariano Argento who played as Debauza and Mario Alarcón who played as Fiscal were very good and their combination worked very well. To sum up, I have to say that "The Heist of the Century" is an interesting movie and I strongly recommend everyone to watch it.

Its a good heist movie with strains of truth, the pace is impeccable, and the actors do a good job. a recommend from the ever so facinated grumpy old man...
