"The film stars Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund, and Pedro Pascal, and follows a group of former Special Operations soldiers who reunite to plan a heist job of a South American crime boss."


It started promising with good cinematography and a great cast of actors. The storyline seems farfetched but is it really ... it depends.

This is no small budget flick, the production values are right there onscreen...visually and auditory.
I got hooked I have to admit, but there were just too many moments of disbelief, and lines delivery that didn't make reality sense. Plus it was just too easy to get a hold of all that cash, I mean a lot of cash, a crazy amount of cash. Was it in a better safe than in a bank? It depends of what you make out of it, but it sure has a certain "value" to it. It's up to the viewer to decide.

Anyway the concept I like, the actors too, the sceneries, the action.
But other things I like much less, too easy and too fabricated.
I could see that it could have been a better film, a longer one too, like approximately 180 minutes for better development and more realistic approach without robotic fabric. The film is two hours long, it flies by very easily by not letting go of what's coming up next.

I'm having a hard time to score it; in one way it's serviceable, on another the potential is lost, it's just another job to cash in. I'm going to be very generous here and say "give it a shot" ... you might find more or less than I did. Some scenes you are going to like I think, a good fair bunch.

Overall (everything...film value with technical aspects): 65

That's my minimum score for serviceability.
