Another remake. First of a sequel. A giant cast. Lots of robbery action. Light but a real heist movie feast. The movie is specially for the audience looking for 'a crowded team work', where each piece completes other pieces like in a jigsaw. 3 members of this team are People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive, as well as one brother of  another Sexiest Man Alive.

Although the movie isn`t taken seriously in cinema history much, it is impossible to talk about popular heist & robbery cinema without mentioning this one. You can often see this one in `The Bests lists of the genre
