Is that easy?
30 May 2014
Warning: Spoilers
The movie tells the real story of one of the biggest heist in New York at the beginning of the '80. Chris Potamitis used to work at a club but he loses this job because it had to shutdown. Now he searches for a new workplace and finds a post as a security guard for a company that moves large amounts of money with bulletproof vans. His father is not that lucky because he also loses his job for a little dispute between his son and his boss. The lifetime best friend of Chris, Eddie is a low time crook and rascal. One night, being on duty Chris discovers many flaws in the security system of the bank and tells Eddie about this. Incidentally Eddie tells that seeing this and all the bad luck he had lately he might as well rob it. He takes him serious and manage too steal a bag with 25000 $ without being caught. But what happens when the local cop starts investigating this mysterious robberies and the word that they could get rich very easy and very quick reaches at the wrong peoples?

I give it such a high rating because it is inspired by a true event, has drop of humor, shows what weak where the protection of valuable items back them, letting a dog do some of the job and if you have 90 minutes of boredom this movie will successfully cover.
