The Heist of the Century

I was looking for the Argentine movie of the same title which had. been recommended to me, and ended up watching this one when I found it. I'm glad I did. Very compelling characters, well acted, and a great screenplay that kept me intrigued all the way through. I am glad that the endgame, after the robbery, was also included. It made for a much richer story.

Very good series. Fast, precise, efficient. Parra in the character of "Chayo" and Tappan in the character of "El Abogado" demonstrate once again why they are two of the most outstanding Latin American actors. Similarly, it is worth highlighting Juan Sebastián Calero as "Sarandino", who is always a good supporting actor who reinforces the plot in the series. The series its stylish and manages to get away from the melodrama and soap opera cliché that characterizes Latin American series. The soundtrack was very well chosen, accompanied by mythical Latin American songs, especially those vallenatos that give more coherence and rhythm to the story, as it accompanies the Valledupar stage. In the same way, it is a pleasure to hear an accent different from that of Medellín or Bogotá on television. I am Puerto Rican and visit Medellin in many occasions and people say to me that the costeño accent is a bit like ours, but I have to say no. However, it was a pleasure to see that they transferred that "conflict" between the "cachacos" and the "costeños" in a peculiar way and, even, in a humorous way. Anyway, good series, which reflects another Latin American story that moves away from the typical "narco". Well played by Netflix.

Really enjoyed this little gem of a series. The acting is superb and the story is equally exciting, tense, sad and funny. It's only six episodes long, so what have you got to lose? Highly recommended.

It is very interesting to see the "history behind the history" as I was living in Colombia when this happened and really very few details were known to the general public as to how the heist really happened. Characters are believable and the plot follows what went on behind the scenes. Great product and the mini-series format helps the story-telling

This is a gem of a series right here.....only 6 episodes but the story was well written and the ending was ok as well.....

The fact that this is from Colombia impressed me as well....

a must watch for Netflix freaks like me. LOL
