O Golpe

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 can't understand the poor reviews. I was enthralled by the story from beginning to end and I thought the story line was well told and keeps the viewer involved. The characters are played well by all involved. Chaz Palminteri is always worth seeing. Don Johnson is a very underrated actor. I had never heard of the heist on which the story is based so it was informative for me. No fancy cinematic tricks here, just a good true crime story told well in workmanlike fashion.

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.

...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!

There is no one that doesn't appreciate a good mob story! The originality of this film was impeccable. The color, the music, the acting and writing was on point! I wanted so much MORE! Theo Rossi was amazing ... and Chaz P. depicted Raymond perfectly. I couldn't get enough of the scenes in RI and the twist at the end was nothing short than genius writing! Congratulations to all! Oh BTW... Don Johnson... was the perfect Frenchman! Way to go Tommy DeNucci & B Dolan. Music was on spot! Not loud not overpowering of movie! Just fantastic!
