I was very conflicted watching this movie. Obviously, I can't deny this movie was well-directed and well-acted similar to Ben Affleck's "The Town", Spike Lee's "Inside Job" or Martin Scorsese's "Casino." That was true. But, it's very troubling to witness a group of Caucasian students committing a serious crime that could have led to some deaths (since we still don't know for sure whether or not they were armed), and getting a slap-on-the-wrist for their crimes. 7 years for millions of dollars of theft including bounding an old school librarian? What a joke. These are affluent white students who were provided every opportunity in life to succeed yet still succumbed to theft and extortion. We live in a terrible double standard where our society disproportionately punishes the most disadvantaged innercity black males for the SAME CRIMES as their white equivalents. I guarantee you if these kids were named Rashad and Jamal and they came from poor black neighborhoods, the federal judge would not be so nice and all of them would be facing 30 years to life even if it was their first offense. The circumstances behind this crime are bullshit: it was their first offense; they got good grades; the are good wholesome kids from good families. No, they are just white kids from white families not to mention only 1 of the kids were actively enrolled in school at the time. Nothing more. The movie is troubling because these criminals got royalties off this movie, so it sends the message that crime truly pays. Had they stayed in school and not committed any crime, they wouldn't be getting any royalties. It was a really good movie but it was laid on a terrible precedent: rewarding some really bad kids for a really bad crime. Also, race is not remotely a factor the same way it would be if the kids were black. You can't beat the hypocrisy of White America enough. It's not the seriousness of the crime that ever matters, it's how racist and partial the prosecutors and judges are. That's the only thing that matters in White America. - @Monday, September 17, 2018 4:11 PM

Alright, this movie has me having so much expectations as it remarked in the description as “the best art robbery in history” which is not close to being fucking true because they don’t even steal it. The movie was exiting at the beginning but all they did was go to a library and beat the shit out of an all lady instead of tranquilizing her or simple holding a gun at her and tell quietly cuff her, they steal the art and do a terrible job at simple transporting it, and they end up being caught because they’re too stupid to use another email THAT DOESN’T HAVE THEIR ADDRES, PHONE NUBMER, AND THE DEALERS CONVERSATION ON IT. Anyway this all it is, it’s just a shitty failure to be honest that has nothing to learn from expect don’t beat old ladies which we all fucking know not to. - @Friday, August 24, 2018 8:40 AM

Peek right under the surface... more negative crap masquerading as exciting "entertainment"... in reality it is negative ENTRAINMENT... totally demoralizing. From "AI Films"... what does that really say ? Get a clue everyone, these types of films are bad for you and especially bad for your guileless children who will lionize these cheating thieves as bold anti-heroes... AND no telling what sort of subliminal frames are imbedded... you wonder why the world is sick ? These types of films are part of it. The wood of the Holly tree is what the "magik" wands of sorcerers was made of... and if you think that is a mere coincidence, then their SPELL casting is working fine on you (spells... SPELLING WORDS)... break the enchantment people... wake up. While you're being entertained/entrained the world is being destroyed... and it is all interconnected and by design. Movies and art should uplift us not demoralize... Hollywood has presently taken the left handed path... - @Friday, June 22, 2018 5:08 PM
