This movie was decent.
Pros: The movie was simple and knows what it is. The main cast are likeable to watch. I credit director F. Gary Gray for putting together a stylish, fast paced & watchable movie and every action scene I did enjoy.
Cons: Everything moves quite quickly you don’t have a chance to digest each moment in the movie. Or know any of the characters at all. Sam Worthington’s character was underdeveloped, and the main antagonist weren’t that important.
The Casts:
- Kevin Hart as Cyrus, a renowned thief and leader of the heist crew
- Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Abby, an Interpol agent
- Sam Worthington as Huxley, Abby’s boss at Interpol
- Vincent D’Onofrio as Denton, an inside man, master of disguise and member of Cyrus’s crew
- Úrsula Corberó as Camila, a pilot and member of Cyrus’s crew
- Billy Magnussen as Magnus, a safecracker and member of Cyrus’s crew
- Kim Yoon-ji as Mi-Sun, a hacker and member of Cyrus’s crew
- Viveik Kalra as Luke, an engineer and member of Cyrus’s crew
- Jean Reno as Jorgenson, a banker and terrorist mastermind who is the target of the crew’s heist
- Jacob Batalon as N8, an NFT artist
- Burn Gorman as Cormac, Jorgenson’s lead henchman
- Paul Anderson as Donal, a henchman of Jorgenson
- David Proud as Harry, the crew’s contact at Air Traffic Control
- Jess Liaudin as Arthur Tigue, Interpol’s mole inside Jorgenson’s organisation
I still recommend watching this movie only on Netflix.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Stars
