Review of The Heist of the Century

Based on a real heist in Argentina 2005, this movie is able to re-create a perfectly planned robbery but with third world resources. There is no fancy equipment or characters; just a bunch of poor and low life people with an idealistic artist smart enough to orchestrate an incredible job with very limited resources. The suspense is sometimes incredible and the detail and events are interesting and not forced. There are no stupid characters on the police or on the criminal sides; things happen and errors are committed. The reveling end explain the real story; how almost everybody was freed and hints how the money disappear. With the exact production values, good and charismatic actors the movie is a must see. Far better (and realistic) than any heist movie seen lately.
