An average movie

Honestly, it has been a while since I have seen this flick but I will probably re-watch it at some point. Nowadays, the box-office has drastically changed. You either get some huge blockbusters involving super-heros, YA adaptations, some very well know franchises or some very cheap indie features and that's basically it and many people involved in the industry find it actually rather worrying. Anyway, 20 years ago, the situation was quite different and you could release a heist feature like this one with a great cast (Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, David Strathairn, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, Ben Kingsley) and you could still reach a decent success. To be honest, even though I thought it was quite enjoyable and entertaining. I never thought it was actually really amazing. In my opinion, the tone is just too light to take the whole thing seriously, I never believed one second that those guys were actually able to do what the hell they were supposed to pull here and since I didn't take it seriously, then it was rather difficult to really care about the characters of what they are going through. Still, there is no doubt that this team was really charismatic, I had a good time watching this and it is definitely worth a look.
