To me, this movie is perfection.

That was an excellent one.

Simply A Masterpiece

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's not clear exactly how closely 'The Hatton Garden Job (2017)' sticks to the true events it is based upon, given that it spends time dubiously setting up Hungarian gangsters and extortion-minded dirty cops as a danger to the composite character that serves as the protagonist. As such, it occupies the space between a straight realistic retelling and and an embellished crime caper while taking only the most boring elements of each. Though the editing and on-the-nose narration are clearly trying to recreate that 'Guy Ritchie' kind of style - and doing it poorly at that, even they can't liven up what eventually amounts to four blokes sat in a room while a drill bores through a wall and the flick bores the audience. On top of that, the characters are cardboard cut-outs without any real personality or motivation and the movie opts not to explore the moral questions raised by such an obviously criminal act - which is actually overtly glamorised here. 5/10

In April 2015, the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company, an underground safe deposit facility in London's Hatton Garden area, was burgled by 4 elderly men. The total stolen may have a value of up to £200 million, the incident has been called the "largest burglary in English legal history." Bad jokes, bad dialogue and awful characters make The Hatton Garden Job a terrific bland, boring and mess of a film. (0/10)

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.

sonnies take on what may have happened tells me he's a man who like me misses the old style caper movies as this will be going in my library to watch again a few times when i fancy it, larry lamb and phil daniels were classic casting contrary to previous reviews, I'm looking at this all from my views, watch it and add your own comments, this is my first review, Regards Rob
