Rétro-braquage

Sometimes you just need to turn your brain off and watch something silly. This is a movie for that. Played for laughs throughout, with fourth-wall-breaking and a totally predictable twist, it's nonetheless an entertaining watch.

We follow a band of Taiwanese thieves, who rob a bank, only to find they've been set up by the bank's crooked owner, who's hoping to catch them, hand them in as scapegoats, and pocket his bank's cash. So the "bros" (as the English subtitles infuriatingly call them throughout) make a plan to return the cash, and expose the corrupt bank owner. While all the time discovering that you can achieve anything if you work as a team with your friends. Aww.

Along the way, we learn more about the characters on the crew, including the heartthrob lead and his ex-girlfriend; the brooding samurai (whose "no homo" love triangle with the lead is probably the film's lowest point, haven't we got past treating LGBT+ characters as punch lines by now?); the wise-cracking cyber hacker looking for love; and the family man who's just doing this to look after his kids.

There are plot holes big enough to fit a bank vault of cash through, and some Mission Impossible style face-cloning technology which is clearly not meant to be realistic, but the dialogue zips along nicely, I had a few actual laugh out loud moments, and it passed the time nicely.

If you like the comedy style of this, you might also want to check out similar Korean comedy/dramas on Netflix, like Mystical Pop-up Bar.

I finally found a movie worse than Thor -Love and Thunder and Antman 3. Incredibly awkward acting, super poor editing, and script feels like written by college students.

Feels like a bunch of students with super low budget doing a film for their school movie event.

It's total waste of precious 1 hour and 40 mins your life. I can't believe how they can make this movie so bad with so many celebrities. It's supposed to be comedy movie but somehow it's thriller to me (giving me goosebumps from awkwardness). I don't know how they got so many compliments from medias and movie reviewers.

Will never recommend this movie whatsoever, period, sincerely.

I saw it at Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival (NIFFF) and I love it !

This movie it's one of the best I can saw this year at NIFFF. Good casting, good acting. Joke, action, talk and "drama" are well mesured. There are some really nice twists, mostly unexpected.

I recommand to not see the trailer, and just let yourself be carried away by this film which is excellent

I thought it was like ocean's eleven, it comes close, however it remains different and brings something new to the genre No boring time and a lot of fun :)

Taïwan movies surprise me these last years and I can say, this movie is also good as "Marry my dead body" who i love it too.
