    Great movie

    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 relaxing movie to watch

    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.

    HEIST WITH A DIFFERENCE

    A nice little flick with a pretty clever heist and fun characters. Super cool that it turns out to be a true story

    A fun watch
    8AgustinCesaratti

    Funny way of representing what is considered one of the most ingenious robberies in the history of Argentina.

    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.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In 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.
    • Goofs
      In 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.
