Hatton Garden: The Heist

Dull, low budget version of what was actually quite an exciting and interesting true story. Find some Dulux, slap it on the nearest wall and watch that dry instead. You're welcome.

Four experienced, aging crooks pull off a daring heist involving the robbery of an underground safe-deposit establishment. Based on the true story of one of the biggest-ever robberies in Britain, which was executed over Easter weekend in 2015. This was extremely Low budget, low excitement, low suspense. All of this equalled low satisfaction. At the end, I still wasn't sure who Basil was....... and who was the bloke stepping off the aircraft at the start ? - Was HE Basil ? - I've no idea. Did he take part in the robbery ? - I don't know. I wouldn't bother to watch it again to find out the answers.

Shocking acting, appalling camera work, rushed effort and half the story has not been told. I gave it 1 out 10 because I couldn't give it zero.

Don't let this very poor Heist film steal your time! What ever the budget was it was clearly mis spent. It's based on the real life event of the Bank Holiday weekend April 2015 Hatton Garden Safe Deposit robbery. It was, at the time, the biggest jewellery heist in British history. The elderly robbers got away with £73 million. Sadly, this just exposes the films weakness. So don't raise any expectations of a tense cops and robbers film. Don't even expect good camara and sound quality. (I swear one scene, of a Dective driving to catch the theives, was taken on a phone camara) and definitely don't expect a decent script. The frequent 'F' bombs and one use of the 'C' word seemed like they were ther just to make up for any other little bit of entertainment that an unimaginative script might offer. Police and the Security Company had red faces after the robbery but so should the makers of this very poor film

So disappointed in this movie.Went to sleep within 20 minutes and then persevered but switched off. Not as good as The Bank Job movie.
