70 Binladens - Le iene di Bilbao

70 Bin Ladens refer to 70 five hundred Euros bills (the reason is everybody talk about it but nobody seems to find them). Spanish joke. This is basically a heist movie; with lots of twists and a very unexpected ending. The problem is that after three quarters of the movie, the writer did a lot of lazy and not quite believable choices that harms the very tense and spectacularly performed story. If you are looking for very interesting performances and a cerebral movie; this one is for you. Do not let the last 5 or 10 minutes become a disappointment when all other aspects of the movie are almost perfect

This movie is a unbelievable garbage. It's more like a parody on a bunch of absolutely dumb policemen. The story is implausible, the acting is bad and there's no good word that can be said about this movie. Avoid by any means if you don't want to feel like a fool after watching that drivel.

I went in to watch this with absolutely no information, and I liked it.

most of it takes place inside, or just outside, the Bank. a woman is desperate to get an immediate loan, and not even a robbery will stop her.

it's not your average rehash of bank heist tropes. the robbers are damaged people who behave supremely idiotically. the police are "soft" compared to what one has come to expect from other similar movies. a wordplay is being used as a major plot device (it helps if you speak spanish, but it's not necessary). there's a minor twist halfway through that I honestly did not see coming.

this is not a movie that will change your life, but if you're tired of movies where you can guess the plot twists and the ending 20 minutes in, you'll enjoy it.

Caper film with a very exciting storyline and surprising ending . Violent film contains thrills , chills , suspense , twists , turns , and results to be entertaining enough . A carefully and neatly perfect crime about a bank robbery goes awry when a duo of dangerous delinquents (Nathalie Poza , Hugo Silva) abduct and take hostages to people of building interior , but soon after they are besieged by cop operative of the Ertzaina : Basque Country's regional police that surrounds the place.

Moving film packs maximum tension , emotion , thriller , plot twists and surprises from the complex schemes to get the aims proceeded by starring and the subsequent attempts by the cops to enter in the bank . This suspenseful movie is a crowd-pleasing blend of intrigue , tense , action-packed and fast movement . It packs good production values with several Spanish stars and a clever twist ending .

Taut direction makes this splendid caper a crackerjack entertainment . Koldo Serra's realization is razor sharp . This is one of the finest last years of the big heist genre and much better than others . Serra uses many long shots , showing a leisurely narrative pace similarly to his big "debut" : Bosque de sombras (2006) . Rating : Above average and well worth watching.

Of course this story is totally implausible, that's also because of this it is unexpected and interesting. It is definitely another INSIDE MAN rip-off, all those thrillers and features - films and series - involving bank robbers and hostage schemes: all more complex one than the other. Not all good but not all bad either. I expected far far worse. Not a masterpiece, but I preferred this than MONEY HEIST series crap, conceived for all audiences, teenagers, truck drivers, housewives, executives, everyone. I am not everyone.
