Le Casse de l'impossible

What a let down, as with all Guy Richie nonsense he glamorizes crime, in this case, real crime. And we have the half wit jack the lad, happy go lucky criminal grinning away calling the Police a bunch of C**** and showing no remorse for his crimes. Justifying it as it was the only path he knew. Showing us his failed attempts and then his masterpiece. It's not that, its the fact that they only got 4 years real time for their crimes, yeah sure dress it up as 14 years but in reality only serving 4. Case in point one of his accomplaces did it all over again when he came out. And our main character is just obviously a Cocaine Dealer now he is out and on the Straight and Narrow...it's blindingly obvious. So what this documentary says to me is "Commit your crimes, we will let you out early, turn you into a Star and set you up for life" I hate what this country has become. The policemans story is the one that should have been told, not that damned criminal.

Great watch. Shows the insights to all the sides to the story and was a great piece of creative story telling. Filmmaking at its finest.

Guy Ritchies auteur style of filmmaking really had me throughout the edge at all times. Really enjoyed the humour throughout the whole three amazing episodes and it had an amazing element of surprise to it.

By showing all the perspectives of the people involved in it, its something which is rare to watch in the media, cinema or the news.

The documentary had everything. Classy visuals, great editing and amazing story telling techniques which you would expect from a Guy Ritchie film especially when it comes to the gangster genre.

On the one hand this is quite an interesting heist with a good story to tell.

On the other this is such a slick snd glossy production that it ends up glamorising and sanitising the real crime and gangsters as if it's one of Guy Ritchies dramas. There is a difference between TV drama and reality after all, and I think a different production style would have helped. It also gives a lot of attention and voice to the criminals themselves, which is what they want (as they say in their own words). Almost resulting in giving the impression they were in the right or somehow entitled to do what they did.

Guy Ritchie's The Money Heist is a gripping and fascinating documentary about the real-life attempted robbery of £300 million in diamonds from the Millennium Dome in 2000.

True crime stories are often more entertaining than fiction, and this is no exception. They likely would have gotten away with it, had the police not been watching and waiting.

I watched all three episodes in one go - the pacing felt just right, and the story is well told, featuring interviews with Flying Squad detectives, De Beers (the diamond's owners), and some of the criminals involved.

I disagree with the reviews claiming the documentary glamorises crime - the substantial prison sentences handed out to the unsuccessful robbers were anything but glamorous.

People have always been interested in real crimes - Dick Turpin, the Great Train Robbery, Brinks-Mat, etc. Books and TV programmes get made about them, and they often end up entertaining, which is to be expected from a documentary series about one of the most audacious robbery attempts ever.

That one of the robbers, Lee Wenham - who is heavily featured in the programme - happens to be quite likeable is neither here nor there. Likeable rogues exist, but that doesn't mean they don't go to jail.

There are also plenty of interviews with the victorious police who foiled the plot, so it's not as if Ritchie is bastardising history.

Truly unbelievable how a crew of men can pull off a high risk diamond heist like this, I'm not gonna lie, Netflix's really doing a great job making these types of mini-series. I always said that real life beats any movie or tv show and this is the proof, this mini-series is the evidence. Very well documented, very good footage, archive footage, etc. You don't need to do a research in order to watch this, it's very well done. You're not gonna get bored watching it, it's amazing how few men can plan something like this and actually stick to the plan and do the job, i highly recommend this mini-series.
