Film is a nice crime thriller film, but some points make it less enjoyable. Performance given by everyone is ok, story is also good. But script does not support it much. Film shows too many twists and turns in short time at the later part of film, that at a time viewer might loose interest into them. Starting long introductions of characters could have been shortened, and focus could have been given to intensify plot, story, locations, the twists and turns instead of increasing their numbers. Too much turns and twists in story have not given any scope to actors to let them give any good impact of their performances. Though overall it is still a good watchable film.
Good points of film are its good story, ok performances, while bad points of film are its too many twists and turns in short time without leaving scope for much emotions and intensity.
It would be liked by fan of heist crime films and fan of 'The Italian Job' movie.
Do not expect much emotion and drama in movie.
Reviewer Verdict: It is a one time watch movie.
