The main characters are a bunch of losers (SPOILERS)


This is an entertaining Flick with a great film score, and great performances.

The characters (the bank robbers) are losers simply because they're taking money that does not belong to them, they did not earn any of that money, they didn't work hard for it.

I don't care about their expensive suits, expensive bottles of champagne, high-rise penthouses, these guys are still losers, they're lazy impatient materialistic people.

They're clever, but they didn't put their skills to use legally, they wanted to get things the quick way.

A thief is still a thief whether they're rich or poor.

"Ghost" got it all twisted, at the end he was shouting and screaming at Idris Elba's character about them not having Ghost's back, lol did Ghost never hear the famous expression "There's no honour among thieves"?!, them leaving him in prison made him and the viewers realise they're all about "every man for themselves" in the long run, they had each other's backs with the heists, but if anyone got sent to prison, they would not try and help them out in any way, we learned that from Ghost being in prison.

Viewers shouldn't root for these characters, any likeability that they have must be overlooked, viewers need to focus on what they stand for which is taking what doesn't belong to them, if they stole from you would you still think they were cool guys?!
