Braquages d'anthologie

Ignore the super low reviews. This documentary does not pretend to be serious and dramatic. The stories are told, first hand, by those who pulled them off, and they put a decent amount of money and effort into the dramatizations.

It's interesting, light hearted and fun.

The mini-series "Heist" thankfully wasn't about some gang of bank-robbers as seen on The FBI Files. It was, at least to me, an interesting look at obscure yet rather sensational solved robberies. More satisfying as such than those big crimes like The Gardner Museum art theft that will likely never be resolved.

Interviews with the actual perpetrators, as well as various law enforcement officials, increases the drama. The three stories here are wildly different in nature helping to create a compact series perfect for a binge-watch. This is done with the twist of dark comedy, but it is clear behind everything the cost was high casuing dire consequences. Recommended for true crime fans.

Probably these are the stories you have never heard about unless you have lived in the nearby towns.

Not all characters are depicted necessarily as the bad guys but more likely of becoming who they are due to growing within the elements of their own surroundings. Basically people who trying to survive are not necessarily tugs.

What makes the heist very interesting is that; ordinary people find themselves in extraordinary circumstances where the opportunity for steeling large sums of cash almost drops on their lap.

It turns out that hiding in plain sight is much more difficult than the stealing itself, with massive consequences for themselves as well as for the people they love and cherish.

A must watch!

Yeah its stylised, but very entertaining and different. Season 2 pls 🙏

A unique and different take on true crime, the heist. The first two stories were well told and the documentaries well made. Didn't care for the bourbon one. Overall though, well made episodes that were interesting to watch.
