4/10
Ultimately very cliched and boring.
9 December 2018
There have amazingly been three films about the true story of the heist on the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit facility in 2015.

Until now I have not seen any of them. For me the trailers for such movies look so cliqued. Boring for want of another word.

This film does not disappoint in that respect. It plays like a TV drama or extended episode of a British TV soap opera called Eastenders. Complete with West Ham United scenes and flags.

It even stars a couple of ex Eastenders 'actors' in Larry Lamb and Phil Daniels.

The film is not terrible. It is just so unoriginal. Done so many times before. It's just a cheap heist rehash.

I began to nod off about three quarters into the film.

The main USP of this story is that the lags that took place are old timers who have health problems that involve over active prostate, diabetes and emphysema.

Should I even bother with the other two films? King of Thieves starring Michael Caine being the latest?
