The first half of this movie is honestly pretty good. It has a nice energy, it's fairly well-paced, and I liked the big heist scene that it spends a good deal of time building up to.
The second half, unfortunately, didn't entertain me nearly as much. The story takes some strange turns which I can sort of appreciate, but it doesn't really work 100%. It also slows down a great deal when it comes to pacing, and feels a bit lifeless - almost as though it's limping towards the finish line.
Maybe that's a bit harsh. It's not like the other qualities of the film fall away entirely in the second half. It's still technically competent and the acting stays alright, but yeah... it's a shame it couldn't keep the energy it had in the first half going for all two hours.
