10/10.

My favorite film of the last few years.

Being a long time fan of Michael Mann's Heat, I found this film drew parallel lines on several aspects. One of the most important aspects is the complexity and accuracy of the robberies. Another was the "cleansing" of the environment post-heist.

Where this movie succeeded and Heat failed was the realization that these men live rather ordinary lives outside of their criminal escapades. They don't talk about playing it low key and then run around in Armani suits, drive expensive sports cars or live in water front condos. They also don't seem to run into the need to kill people as often.
