Another one-location heist movie. This time it is comedy heist. What happens if two different robbery teams appears in the same moment to rob the same bank? And what happens if one of them are all-pro team, while the other is a couple of buffoons?

Many different characters. More we watch, more we like the characters. Acting tends to get better from start to end. Especially Tim Blake Nelson does a great job. More the movie progress, more it becomes mysterious. Many smart jokes come back to back. Although it doesn't reach to the top, it doesn't fall under a certain quality. But one thing continuously rises: the mystery.

A different style of caper. Close to be a dark comedy. The clever scenario runs smoothly. I really enjoyed it. Not a bad choice for a caper at all. It didn't me blow away though.
