A nice ensemble piece with Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin as a group of friend who lost their pensions and seek revenge by robbing the bank who stole their money.
The bank robbery plan reminded me a lot of the scenes in the Dark Knight (similar cars, masks and suits). And in preparation for the robbery, they watch a movie to pysche themselve up: Dog Day Afternoon. "Maybe we shouldn't be watching this".
An interesting little subplot with their respective family members - on one hand they think they have nothing to lose but on the other hand, they do have good relations with others that each of them is putting at risk.
And of course, a lot like another Morgan Freeman movie, the Bucket List. Aging men seeking a few final thrills.
Worth a look * * * of 5
