Very good movie, with great acting. I just don’t know how much of this story needed to be told.

Not just a glamorous reenactment, this is a thrilling heist movie that gives real, emotional insight into the minds of the criminals.

Loved the way they went about making it a docudrama, while still feeling like a true movie. The anxiety felt so real and had me stressed.

Engaging story told in a brand new way. Not sure it's worth 7+ years in prison, but I understood the irresistibility of the plan.

Brilliant take on a heist movie. It has both funny and sobering moments. Evan Peter's performance is incredible.
