"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.

Francella and Peretti have such good chemistry that it makes the film hilarious and enjoyable. The other actors who are part of the group are good. The direction and script are good but it's not a big deal, it's based on real events and basically you have to thank the joints, apart from most of the dialogue being jokes or curses.
In conclusion, it's a good movie with good actors and it's good to hang out with.

Nice and interesting movie, may become boring in some times but as it keeps going it becomes better and better. A good watch for the cinema.
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.
A good flick to laugh and enjoy in a style similar to Damián Szifrón. Even though it's not that intense as you expect, it manages to make you care at least a little bit about the characters. Fernando, in my opinion, it's the most interesting and Peretti's acting brought humanity and charisma to him.
Did you know
- TriviaIn the real heist, when the special forces team finally stormed the bank, the seven bandits watched it live on TV while counting cash and eating pizza. Or at least they thought it was live. TV stations covered the operation on a 30-minute delay, because they assumed the gang would be watching from inside the bank and didn't want to tip them off that a raid was coming. They figured they would trick the thieves.
- GoofsIn the film, the thieves appear in some scenes touching everything with their bare hands, leaving fingerprints everywhere. A group of professional thieves would always wear gloves to avoid this, as the police could use their fingerprints to identify them.
