I enjoy a good heist movie. They are always a lot of fun and often have a lot of clever aspects that I really appreciate. 'The Vault' is no different. It finds a good balance between being clever enough to be impressive, while also being simple enough to easily follow. The film also did a good job of making sure we were on the side of the heisters. It's not always easy for me to side with "criminals", however on this occasion they gave me good reason to.
Where the film falls down a little is in the characters and the acting. Heist characters should be ultra-cool and a lot of fun. This lot are quite serious and certainly not the coolest collection of characters ever assembled. Also the acting lets them down a lot of the time. It often feels like lines have been learned five minutes before the scene and are just being read out, rather than acted.
Still, this one is a good time for the most part and if you are a fan of heist films like me then you will likely find some enjoyment in it. 7/10.
