- TriviaBrad puts on a Richard Nixon mask during the Prague bank robbery. This is a nod to the 1991 heist movie, Point Break, starting Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swazye.
- GoofsA main plot point in this film involves agents from INTERPOL attempting to apprehend the thieves and getting thwarted while actively pursuing them. In point of fact, INTERPOL is not a law enforcement agency and none of their agents have any law enforcement or arrest powers. INTERPOL acts as a liaison between law enforcement across member nations and offers databases, technical and operational support to and between member nations.

Korina: You know, reconning. Fucking reconning. I've been reconning them. Now get out of my asshole, Mr. I Don't Want To Make Out.
Dieter: Ah, okay. Got it. Okay, reconning.

It has some problems don't get me wrong. I thought it was quite predictable at times and the plot never really went out of its way to surprise you. I was also a little surprised by the amount of action involved, what I mean by this is that there wasn't much. However the film did really keep my interest and the suspense was built well.
The characters i thought on the whole were very good. I think they missed a trick on a couple of them. The driver in particular. He had a good sense of humour and was likeable, but he just wasn't really in the film enough to make any sort of impact. But overall they did a good job of making these heist people really likeable and making you root for them.
The ending was much better also. I thought the ending of Army of the Dead was absolutely awful, but this rounded up significantly better. In terms of prequels the ending was spot on.
But yeah, overall I'll give it a 7/10. I ultimately enjoyed watching it, the characters were fun and I was intrigued the entire time. Sure it's absolutely not going to blow your socks off, but it's entertaining and much MUCH better than Army of the Dead. Feel like they learnt from the mistakes a bit.
