This is the first realistic heist movie. Loved that it’s not only about the heist but also about the way it affects the four protagonists, their families and the victim. The Ocean’s Eleven reference was perfect. Also, nice Reservoir Dogs reference. Not my favorite Tarantino either. Nobody wants to be Mr. Pink. Ever.
It is not based on a true story, it is a true story. The use of the real people is so awesome and cleverly done. It reminds you about the reality of the facts every time. Sure there are some things that may have been romanticized/faked by Warren. But it’s a four men story. And we see it clearly during the movie when they meet with the guy in New York. Warren and Spencer are just describing two different meetings.
The acting is crazy good too. It’s just crazy. Nothing else to say. Standing ovation for the actors.
You can also find a lot of really poetic moments like when the car drives in front of the real Spencer before the heist and at the very end from both perspective or when Spencer crosses the way of the flamingo.
The movie is a bit slow at some points but it builds up to be a 10 for me. Highly recommended even if I understand it can be a love or hate kind of movie.
