Review by Morning.star
Gripping and uncompromisingly honest. In a class of its own as far as heist movies are concerned.

Comments and Reviews
Review by unofficial reviewer
Excellent film with twists and turns, strong story line, suspense, intrigue and wonderful acting. The direction of the film is better than average. It is a long film, but you never get bored.
Once again Viola Davis proves what an incredibly talented actress she is.
