After a band of thieves break into a bank and clean out the vault, they find that they have to put the money back because the leader's girlfriend is blamed.
It's much more complicated than that but that is enough to get you started with this delightful caper film that riffs on all the recent Hollywood caper films while turning them all on their ear. This is just great fun.
To be honest you have to stay through the set up. I had a hard time warming to the film for the first few minutes because it was spinning out in such a rote method. It was so obviously riffing on films like OCEAN'S 8, 11,12 and 13 that I was bracing for a ride I could plan from start to finish. Thankfully there was a point where the film just flopped and shook off the copying and then began to really knock my socks off.
What an absolutely delightful film.
Ultimately it doesn't entirely chart a new path, but it manages to be so damn entertaining you really won't care.
Highly recommended.
It hits Netflix August 1
