Robbery

Robbery feels tempting, and in away it is a heist film, but more of the human level, life and death, and that everything expires one day ...death.

its a film without extravagance, the story lacks a lot of substance, the dementia bait doesnt impress me, nor do the overall acting. its one of the films that is filmed so close up in the actors face, so youre fooled to believe. the setup design and locations are very abandoned factory like.

its not an exciting robbery film, so make a pass on this if your in for the action.

My husband and I happened to really like this movie. This is filmed in Canada. I'm assuming near Toronto as both Stanton and Hindle are from Toronto. This is not an action movie. It's intense drama. Starts off slowly but like most good movies, it builds up to a climax. As a first time major role for the main character, he was amazing! This is the type of movie we enjoy...no loud noises, no car races, no loud music, just a bit of violence, lots of tension. All of the actors were excellent. The story was very good, with twists. I had tears at the end. We were emotionally invested. I don't understand the low ratings!

I have sat through better school play productions. Acting is secondary school drama group.

What else can I say? This movie starts so-so, then goes and make some promises.... which it can't keep, because 33% of its running time is mired in sloppy screenwriting, blatantly visible in the childish antics that start pretty early in the movie, and in the one-dimensional supporting character of the native-american girl. Bad acting doesn't help either. The father/son duo do a good job for the most part (though in the end there is some over-the-top performance by the kid), but the rest of the cast is kinda wooden. Still, it gets one thing straight in the end: the depiction of loss, and the renewal of hope. Anyway, I don't think this was a total waste of time...and I do think there is hope for the director/screenwriter, if next time he can seriously spend some quality time brushing up his script.

I was kinda hoping this would be well made when I read the subject matter. Oops... it's actually quite bad and sad, not a very good combo for a film. It reminded me of a school project "My First Movie" grade 8. Sorry.
