The heists give this movie an Oceans film feel. The score and cinematography, as well as the execution, brings a lot to the table. Each heist is a little bit different in order to keep things interesting and engaging, and it works for the most part.
While Matthias Schweighöfer is clearly the star of this film, and the best part of it, Nathalie Emmanuel who plays Gwendoine also shines. This group of criminals is fun to explore as they have their ups and downs, but the chemistry between these two is off the charts. Every character brings something to the table.
When cracking a safe the camera pans to inside of it and the audience is able to see the mechanism working inside. The way that the unlocking and cracking is experienced is unlike anything seen before, and makes for something beautiful to look at, if nothing else.
