I love this movie so much

Too many fans seem to be blown away

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

But this movie just didn't deliver the goods, the goods were in the hands of the thieves and stayed there.I love cockney acting , I love the realism of the pub scenes and the back kitchens of the homes. All of this is set up in the opening couple of minutes and you're settling into your chair in anticipation of a great movie telling a great story.It had some funny moments I must say, but there wasn't much in the way of character development and I was left with the feeling that the whole crew lost interest half way through.The sub plots could have been developed a bit more, but again the Director didn't seem to care about explaining them to the audience and to be honest I didn't quite understand what they were about ( although I did walk away for five minutes to make myself a sandwich). My understanding wasn't any clearer by the end of the movie which meant I had to search through the internet to clarify what went on. That's not a good way to tell a story on the screen.A successful caper like cleaning out a safety deposit box vault should translate into a thrilling movie but although these guys pulled the job off, the translators weren't able to pull it off with the final product.

I enjoy heist movies and was so looking forward to this but what a disappointment. It felt as though it had been filmed in one go over a weekend, the sound quality was dreadful and the characters, by and large, were little more than comic book characters.The crucial thing: the meticulous planning and preparation that went into this heist was almost entirely omitted from the film. One moment they're mumbling inaudibly over a few flat pints and the next they're drilling through the vault wall and opening safety deposit boxes to some loud rock music.This is at the bottom of the barrel as far as heist movies go and the worst film I've seen for several months. Don't waste your time unless you really, really, don't have anything better to do.

A travesty of a film. What could have been a great story about OAPs robbing Hatton Garden has been turned into a cheap by numbers cheeky cockney heist. The script is one that must have had the actors pissing razor blades, it is appalling. There are some excellent English actors in this; Phil Daniels, Larry Lamb; I was upset that they have been reduced to acting in this level of film. If you like early Guy Richie films do NOT be suckered into watching this facsimile of a film. Save your money & time and wallpaper the lounge.

I was really looking forward to this. I've read quite a bit about what really took place on this Hatton Garden job, the people involved, how it was planned and went down, etc. I've also watched news stories, a British television documentary, etc. So I was justifiably baffled when a Hungarian woman (who doesn't exist in real life) appeared as the mastermind of the whole thing. What? So the men who spent 3 years meticulously planning this heist were now just hired goons? How does this co-exist with advertising claiming "true story"? The Hatton Garden Job is very flimsily BASED on a true story but is very definitely a work of fiction, and a poorly done one at that. I guess the budget was super low, else they might have cast Terence Stamp, Michael Caine, Ray Winstone, etc., in the leads. The TV actors used were adequate but definitely lacking charisma/star quality/acting chops that could have loaned some magic to this limp film.***SPOILER***One of the reasons the gang got caught (and a point well made in news articles, etc.) is that one of the men drove around the scene of the crime, both before and during, (all caught on CCTV) in his distinctive Mercedes that was white with a black top. The filmmakers couldn't even be bothered to replicate this car for the film, instead using an all-white Mercedes, making it far less noticeable than the real car, which was already known to police.Other reviews have mentioned the loud, obtrusive music, and I had the same problem. the dialogue is whispered most of the time, with sudden intrusions of blaring music. I had to watch with earphones on, remote at the ready, so I could switch volume up and down repeatedly while watching. Sound editor should be banned from ever making another film! Stick to video games, dear, which is probably all you've ever worked on prior to this.Slow moving, no suspense or intrigue, added characters that are little more than cartoon characters and veer the story into the world of fiction, ludicrous dialogue at times, and generally just a big, boring disappointment.
