Lively and engaging retelling of the audacious Hatton Garden Heist which took place over Easter Weekend in 2015. This is the third film to be made about this particular event, and it features a stellar cast.
Really enjoyed it, even if I always feel a bit bad when (some of) the bad guys are so damned likeable.
