Vault

Giving this movie 1 or 2 stars is criminal in itself hence I was forced to write a review. OK there are better mob movies out there but there are also a lot worse. Plus it's based on a true story so when some of the other reviews blame 'the story' please engage brain before reviewing.

It's a stylish recreation of the 70's & tells a story of one of the biggest heists in American history that actually saw the downfall of the Mafia. What else do people want from a low budget movie?

I went into this not knowing this was based on a true story. I agree with the consensus. The writing and script were awful. A true story how hard is it?!? Now seeing Chaz in this I need to hurry and watch " Bronx Tale" to wash this performance out of my mind( not like he was awful) but not how I want to remember him. The best acting was from Lala Kent haha. I recognized her from VR. I usually love 70's based movies and they should of at least taken advantage with a good soundtrack. This just had a very cheesy low budget feel. I wasn't awful just badly shot , edited, written etc.

Poor script, pacing, acting, just generally not a very good film. The only redeeming feature being the great soundtrack. I recommend that you watch it with your eyes closed.

With a runtime of 1h 39min, VAULT sure is a long movie. The film is filled with really uninteresting main and sub characters, the writing oh so bla·sé, with Chazz Palminteri, Don Johnson, William Forsythe and The Sopranos gang giving just enough to get their paycheck and go. The production of this film is really horrible. The most disappointing item of all-Samira Wiley getting typecasted as just another crack whore, with no redeeming quality to offer Vault at all. There was a lot of talent that could have been offered in this film-and all of it squandered by inexperienced writers, directors and producers.

...I really wanted to like this movie. The trailer looked promising and the cast good but sadly it just didn't float well enough to sail. From the moment it started, every minute felt like an hour. I just wanted it to end. I stuck with it until the end and was so relieved it was finally over. The best role in the whole movie was Samira Denise Wiley, who was fantastic, other than that...it sank!
