211: O Grande Assalto

I did not understand why the rating is 4.2. I won't say this is a great movie but I found it entertaining, and time well spent. I expected a better and more thrilling end though. The escape plan of the bank robbers did not look like a plan. The storyline is also more or less predictable. But still I liked it for the way it was presented. I liked the characters too. I recommend watching the movie.

At the time of writing this review, after actually watching this movie, the rating was 4.4 with 21% giving this a 1/10. Nicolas Cage really does have some haters, and I bet in this case many of them didn't even watch this movie before voting 1.

This is definitely not a 1/10 movie, my rating of 6/10 is in my opinion more accurate and I would have rated it higher except for a few issues I had with some of the acting and a few incidents that were a bit over the top.

I am not a huge Nicolas Cage fan, but I definitely don't think he is a bad actor, some of his movies are not the best and while this one is not one of his best, it is definitely not his worst and worth more than 4.4/10.

Basically a bank robbery gone wrong movie, with a bit of background drama thrown in. Some good action scenes and some pretty stupid actions on behalf of some of the characters, but overall an OK movie.

If you like shoot em ups, this one is for you. If you just don't like Nicolas Cage movies, just because, then this is not for you.

Not a movie I would see over and over, but OK for 80 minutes of entertainment.

Good action scenes, but terrible acting, awful script, cliched characters and predictable deaths.

This movie by Nicolas Cage and company is another to add to the bad. Opening credits blew it when they pan a laptop showing a active transfer while she randomly strikes the keyboard senselessly. What were they expecting this to add more realism you could see she was not typing and nothing appears on the screen except the transfer process. Obviously the film's editor should cut this to the floor but they probably thought nobody would care, that's why this is a B movie.

This movie is a 1 raised to a 5 by Nicolas Cage. The writing and directing are a joke. The story is basic and okay, it is the actual lines that are written that are embarrassing, I would swear a 14 year old with zero life experience wrote it. Unfortunately, Shackleton had just enough family money and influence to make this. It is saved a little by the fact that Cage can do a lot without any directing. The other participants, can't call them actors, really needed some direction and just didn't get it. So I beg you, York (yes, that is his name, you know, like the peppermint pattie) I beg you take all that family money and "hard earned snowboarding money" and donate it to a charity, you are just not talented enough to use it properly.
