Daylight Robbery - Un colpo british style

Great! The opposite of what I thought it would be, and all the better for it! The presence of Vas Blackwood and the robbery theme made me think it might be the rumpled spawn of Lock, Stock, but don't let this throw you.

Daylight Robbery is a different beast altogether.

Instead of convoluted, contrived plot and cheap laughs, Leonti keeps it real and lets us go along for the ride with real, non sensational, believable characters.

A brave, distinctive movie about what it's probably really like to rob a bank.

I think the fact that this movie is already on television for free says it all really. All or nearly all of the positive reviews are written by shills.

This movie is dire, you find yourself waiting a long time for things to happen which never arrive, the acting was weak, awful in some parts. The heist itself was not clever or well executed, and basically took an hour to show what could have been done in five or ten minutes. I can't comment on the ending because i turned it off and went to sleep. Really.

Avoid at all costs, I like rubbish low budget British movies but this really really isn't worth it.

Expected much more from the movie after the looking at the plot. Daylight Robbery is an epitome of a mediocre movie....The movie is watchable but do not expect anything from it.. Maybe the movie lacks flare and punch but on the whole it ain't as bad as others seem to have commented...it has a pretty good ending compared with the style the movie goes in. Too many unanswered questions arise as one is watching the movie.. The cast ain't a solid one, with no existence of a main role as such. With too many flaws in the planning and execution of the storyline , i highly doubt this movie will even make a decent run in the theaters.. So, finally think twice before buying this movie or else your expression would be like " hey, have i seen this one before"..Cheers lads.. Brit movies will always rock irrespective!!!! Therefore this movie gets a average but merciful 5.5-6 out of 10...

There is a fine tradition of British gangster and bank robbery films- this does not add to that tradition. Low budget can be good. Limited claustrophobic locations , good writing and fine acting can do an awful lot. Here they contribute nothing. There is a lot of shouting, a lot of swearing, no humour, no sense of character identity, just a whole load of characters that you want caught as soon as possible, not because you care, but because you want the film to end.

Director and writer Paris Leonti has nothing to say, the direction is laborious, the scenes derivative, the dialogue risible. Shaun Williamson is ludicrously miscast as the Policeman in charge of facing down the robbery. He makes no attempt whatsoever to give the role any character, he plays it as Fat Barry from East Enders, he can't be bothered, and that transmits itself to the audience.

The plot is hopeless, the stocking masks totally ineffective, the Police response wholly unbelievable. Some of the lines are off the scale of cringe worthy. Tiffany Mulheron offers some brief moments of respite as an attractive hostage, and that is about as good as it gets. Avoid at all costs. On no account pay money to see this . If it is available free of charge – do something else with your valuable time.

A solid British heist film which tries to capture the tension of Dog Day Afternnon.

Jeff Bell is good in the film as are the rest of the male cast. Good set-pieces - the tunnels sequences work very well. The bank job feels real enough. The film contains nice touches which take the audience in unexpected directions. It's good to see Barry from Eastenders doing something other than Extras. Not that many female characters, although the main woman is quite a babe.

Good tight piece all around. The kind of film that doesn't normally get made in UK. Paris Leonti is clearly a director to keep an eye on.
