Pure Gold from Ritchie
British gangster-caper. Not in anyway shape or form to be taken seriously.

Jewel heist. Incompetent crooks. Loot-eating dog. Vinny Jones. Everybody chasing everybody else and Brad Pitt as a psychotic, bare-knuckle-fighting, gypsy boxer.

Highly entertaining. Watch it.

A good mix of action, heist and thriller with a good cast line-up make this a better than average film. It didn't have anything particularly new or original about it, but if you like those genre of films then you should enjoy this.

My review of this documentary may be slightly bias because I've read several books on the Gardner Heist, including the FBI Agent's memoir who nearly tracked down the missing paintings, but got stuck in a pissing contest between agencies.
First, I felt like they should have had this FBI Agent contribute more to the documentary, rather than presenting some other theories as to where the paintings ended up. I actually thought they were going to have him appear in the last ep, but he didn't. This would have bumped up the rating for me, honestly.
Second, so many conspiracy theories with the Italian mob. I just shook my head at this. Way too much focus. The police department's focus seemed half-ass, and like they took the easy way out by blaming the mob, then didn't interview actual witnesses again.
The BEST PART of this documentary series was when they interviewed a guy that is a member of the IRA. There was a theory that the IRA had lifted them. The guy basically told everyone to F-off, because the IRA wasn't involved. I cackled because it was completely hilarious.
Overall, this was just ok. It would probably be really interesting for people that don't know anything, or very little, about the Heist. Sure, this heist is interesting, but not 'The World's Greatest Heist'.

The wachowski's hit paydirt as this love triangle heist mob movie is pure enjoyment on many levels, it's a very stylish thriller with a taut edge of your seat story that gave us an early look into the minds behind the Matrix, a great directorial debut.
