I got a lotta problems with this movie


. . . and now you're gonna hear about them.

1. My first, primary problem is that they'd never be able to figure out, plan, and execute that entire heist in the few hours they had between the end of the dinner date and the moving of the gold the VERY NEXT DAY. Donald Sutherland's character made a big point of how Marky Mark took the time to plan the heist down to the "t". Pulling off a complex heist in about 12 hours is just far, far too much to figure out and do - and figure out and do perfectly - in that short a space of time.

2. The glass in the safe didn't crack from all that drilling. Okay. But it didn't crack from that explosion, or from that 30 foot drop onto concrete? Yeah, right. Get the f@ck outta here.

3. Talk about your Hollywood endings. I was expecting something awesome, as in the original. But this? Are you f'g kidding me?

4. As others have pointed out, moving all those tons of gold on those two little subs was ridiculous.

All in all, it was still a decent movie. Because I loved all the actors/characters.




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

Well I didn't even read the post, I just liked the Seinfeld reference.

I think this one is way better then the original, you need to learn what suspension of disbelief is.

Oh, please, educate me.

The only one that I can speak to is issue #2 you raised. Now, as far as the "branding" of these safes go, I am not too sure of. But, my brother-in-law is a locksmith and a safe specialist. There are a few safes out there that have glass panels to make them drill proof and I remember him telling me that nothing can break those glass panels except if someone was trying to drill through the metal. I found that surprising myself...
