Los silenciosos

A regular heist film inspired by a real heist story. While acting was good, I found the pacing quite bad. The deep focus on the main character was not needed. A lot of events and character action in the movie look really strange as they lack reasoning whatsoever, but I'll skip them due to spoilers. Let's say I would question how professional the robbers were. While using long one shot takes is beneficial for some scenes, it made the heist scene very confusing. A bunch of masked men shouting and running back and forth. Other than that it was interesting to watch how the criminal mind works in action.

It's nothing more than a good action heist, but nothing less. Combined with decent acting and various personages (including ethnicity), it represents the average Joe of the criminal underworld in Denmark. It has a good soundtrack too.

The movie is a bit slow, maybe some scenes weren't necessary, just as it wasn't necessary to concentrate on the main characters' unsuccessful career and doing it for the female security guard was also unnecessary, but it wasn't too bad. It is just something that if you cut out of the movie, it won't become worse. The actions and the conversations were chaotic at moments, but I'd say the flaws are acceptable, because overall the movie is fine. I would give it 6.5 stars, but it's not possible.
