Great Film overall
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Forget, if you can, the fact that the 'f' word is used every other word (and then some) and that the writing is abysmal - well OK, you can't; it is that dreadful. The writers seem to have tried to make a film based on their 'ideas' of a bank robbery, it is heavily slanted in favour of the 'robbers' and the police are portrayed as soft (well this lot ARE dreadful) even helping the robbers along: Shaun Williamson's character (the Police CHIEF no less): "We want to help as much as we can" - puhlease!!! At the beginning of this mess (film) it takes ages for the sound of sirens after the alarm is raised; SO19 would have been there in the first few seconds of the alarm going off not fifteen minutes later!!! There is also a propensity for the robbers to tell their captives to take their clothes off, it is laughable and a sad excuse for a film. The warning they give out at the beginning of this movie 'This film contains bad language' should really say 'this film contains normal language' because there is so much foul language it is a total turn off, it is puerile rubbish from start to finish.The 'people' who wrote Daylight Robbery ought to be ashamed of this tripe, and I sincerely hope they are not allowed to present any more rubbish like this in the future.If you really want to see a bank robbery film watch the excellent 'The Bank Job' (2008) - a properly written, directed and acted film. No need bad language here, the writers are not lazy and actually have an imagination which does not include the 'f' word ALl the time.
This is completely laughable. How can anyone rate this movie a 10? Oh. Wait a minute. If you're part of its PR push or the writer/director or the producer etc, I guess you'd have a very good reason to be giving this a ten. But people beware, this is an over-hyped, poorly written, terribly photographed piece of shouty garbage. The characters have zero development, zero humor, zero charm and zero impact. I saw another Brit film (The Bank Job) while I was in London and though I thought it was below average, I could at least watch it without crying into my popcorn. My British friends were more disappointed than I was and the director's claim that Guy Ritchie is an amateur goes to show what an absolutely talentless fool he really is. This movie looks cheap, the actors look nasty (except the girl), the cast acts loudly instead of convincingly. The whole thing is so disjointed that even the most ardent fans of Brit crime thrillers will hope that this director hangs up his megaphone immediately. Fans of Uwe Boll, may want to seek this out, but everyone else beware. If you see a rating higher than a 4, then it's been posted by either liars or idiots. Not so much an opinion, but a fact.
A good British movie that is worthy of several viewings. I am pleased to see it has not gone the 'plastic gangster' route. Too many films go the way of the tough guy sharp talk style but this has become jaded and Daylight Robbery has managed to get the balance right.Some good performances from an ensemble cast, that includes the talented Johnny Harris, Geoff Bell and Vas Blackwood. It has tidy dialogue and sharp editing, with the story moving along at a good pace. The soundtrack works and is not too pretentious or overwhelming. This film will work as cinema or as home entertainment, but I would say, to get maximum effect and maximum enjoyment, try to catch it when it's released theatrically.
A most enjoyable film, with lots of action, moments of suspense interspersed with dry humour.Captivating stunts, great sound track and fast paced editing complete the effects.As the plot develops, the tension mounts and during the initial stages of the robbery, my pulse was really racing.The characters are believable and some actually likable, even generating sympathy as the robbery begins to go wrong.Overall, an excellent film that is highly recommended! Congratulations to Paris Leonti for squeezing so much entertainment from a low budget.
