Countdown in Madrid

I found this to be far better than most Netflix movies. A good story line that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. Follows a fairly basic heist movie formula, but there is a reason for the formula, it works! Definitely a good watch.

It was good, really well directed and shot, but the story is nothing new. It's basically a tamed down shortened movie version of Money Heist, but not nearly as cleverly or suspensefully written. Plus I feel Freddie Highmore was a poor casting choice. I kept expecting some dumb equations to pop up like they do in the lame TV series he's in, The Good Doctor. Plus he still had that lost-in-space duh look.

This is a fun movie with a clever base storyline. The acting was good as well. But this movie is kind of perdictable I mean you can see what's coming for the most part. Though the movie bills itself a slick clever story there are some big holes in the story. So you kind of need to check your inquisitive mind at the door. But overall it's an enjoyable ride!

Freddie Highmore, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Sam Riley, Famke Janssen, and Liam Cunningham star in "The Vault," also titled "Way Down."

A young genius engineer, Thom (Highmore) is brought in by a wreck recovery operation, run by a man named Walter, to break into the Bank of Spain's safe to steal a lost treasure which, after Walter's incredible recovery work, will go to the British government if it isn't stolen in time. There are no blueprints and a tight security system.

Once Thom devises a plan, the team will have 105 minutes to complete it, while Spain is immersed in the 2010 Football World Cup final, when the security system will face the crowd of 500,000 watching a giant screen.

I love heist movies, and this one, completely outlandish, made for fun and exciting viewing and was highly entertaining.

When you're dealing with heist films, criticizing them for not being realistic spoils the fun. If you want realism, watch a documentary.

This was a typical bank heist movie, but on the plus side nobody got maimed or killed, there were no car chases or big Michael Bay explosions.

No it wasn't the best script, lot of plot holes and predictable twists, but it was entertaining just the same.

Very similar to the "Now You See Me" series. Not very realistic and sort of corny. Just don't overthink it.
