One of the best movies I've seen in a long time

This movie really took me by surprise. The cast was great. Somehow it was over the top, and yet not too over the top to the point of making it unwatchable. It was definitely entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There weren't too many dull moments. I wouldn't go so far to compare it to the film Heat, but it had some similarities. If you're in to bank heist flicks, I'd highly recommend it. Gerard Butler was great in this movie. All in all, it's worth a watch. And that's not something I'm used to saying about movies nowadays.

I should also mention that song at the end of the movie, titled, Legendary...is such an epic song and an amazing way for the film to have ended.

I really enjoyed it too but the ending was retarded

I agree. this was a pleasant surprise. I wouldnt go to say one of the best, but its a solid 8-9 for me. I also like how they didnt try to make the whole movie be action for low attention span viewers like many modern movies tries to be and allowed people to figure things out on their own. The main issue i have is that i personally hate the "unreliable narrator" in movies. If a movie is showing a flashback, it shouldnt be a lie.

This is some of "the crap they put out now".

Testosterone laden, steroid-muscled, excessively tattooed, hard drinking and smoking macho stereotypes. The Marlboro Man gave up the ghost at the end of the 20th century due to lung cancer. The only redeeming quality to this garbage is that the weakest appearing character, dubbed and mocked as Fraulein, actually ends up being the smartest, albeit the entire premise is still far fetched.

And never watched "heat"?

Where in the OP is it implied that they haven't seen Heat?
