Safe cracker Rick (Andy Blithe) and crime strategist Paul (Nick Elliott) have been lifelong friends, and on the wrong side of the law for most of that time, but they've drifted apart a bit lately, especially since not all their heists went as planned. But hwen Paul asks Rick to help him get a crew together for a heist to end all heists, Rick can't say no - especially since the loot promises to be astronomical. But getting the crew together isn't all that easy, since their trusted getaway driver (Mark Wells) has since started to work for Uber and their man who usually provided distractions has long dies - and while his daughter (Anja Kick) agrees to basically "inherit" the job, she's just not cut out for a life of crime. But whatever the challenges preparing for their last big heist, Paul and Rick get through them, somehow, and it's only on the big day that things start to go really wrong - and that's before they all learn they have actually been set up by Paul's arch enemy (Duane C Tucker) ...

If yoou're going into this film expecting and action spectacle - something heist films have of late veered towards, you'll probably be disappointed - but if you're not expecting that, and pretty much whatever else you're expecting, you're in for a treat, as this is actually a pretty awesome piece of crime cinema, character-driven and yet full of situational comedy, , wildly funny yet also heart-warming at all rhe right moments, and just a great watch throughout, also thanks to a suitably subtle directorial effort and a strong cast. Definitely worth one's while!
