It's not clear exactly how closely 'The Hatton Garden Job (2017)' sticks to the true events it is based upon, given that it spends time dubiously setting up Hungarian gangsters and extortion-minded dirty cops as a danger to the composite character that serves as the protagonist. As such, it occupies the space between a straight realistic retelling and and an embellished crime caper while taking only the most boring elements of each. Though the editing and on-the-nose narration are clearly trying to recreate that 'Guy Ritchie' kind of style - and doing it poorly at that, even they can't liven up what eventually amounts to four blokes sat in a room while a drill bores through a wall and the flick bores the audience. On top of that, the characters are cardboard cut-outs without any real personality or motivation and the movie opts not to explore the moral questions raised by such an obviously criminal act - which is actually overtly glamorised here. 5/10

Seems they can't make enough films about King Arthur and the Hatton Garden Heist. This is inspired/based on the true story of an over-the-hill gang who drilled into the wall of London's most prestigious private vault. I have seen a couple of films on this heist, and while this one wasn't grossly bad, it wasn't as good at the others. Knowing what was going to happen didn't help. The characters were not as deep or colorful as is needed for a new film on the topic.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

First off was the sound quality. I watched this film late at night and had to lower it up and down so as to not wake the neighbours with the dreadful music. Secondly, most of it was fiction and silly fiction at that.Thirdly, it looked very amateurish to me and finally it was a bit boring too. Let's hope the new version in production, holds a bit more excitement.

sonnies take on what may have happened tells me he's a man who like me misses the old style caper movies as this will be going in my library to watch again a few times when i fancy it, larry lamb and phil daniels were classic casting contrary to previous reviews, I'm looking at this all from my views, watch it and add your own comments, this is my first review, Regards Rob
