Backtrace is certainly a movie that had me glued to from start to finish, with it opening with all guns blasting with Mathew Modine in a shootout when a heist goes wrong and then moving along with the introduction of Stallone character with the heart-pounding opening soundtrack.

Typical Bank Heist
Nicholas Cage plays an American cop who inadvertently gets involved in a group of ex-military soldiers who are robbing a bank in order to get $1 million dollars. Add into the mix a young black student who has to accompany both Cage and his Son-in-Law as a punishment and throw in explosions and random killings and you get a fair idea what sort of ilm this is. Its worth watching if you just want an action bank heist movie, but if you are looking for something to keep you excited and on the edge of your seat, this is not it .

A strong cast of newer actors lead this reasonably entertaining heist movie that starts off very well and a good element of intrigue, however the more complex it tries to become the more plot holes start to creep in and runs out of steam well before the end credits, shame as it had potential.

Diamonds are a girl’s best friends’ best friend. Ocean’s 8 (2018) #Review
Sisters are doing it for themselves, specifically Danny Ocean’s sister Debbie (Sandra Bullock), in this affably slick but lightweight heist thriller, the fourth in the modern ‘Ocean’ series and the first not to be directed by Steven Soderbergh...

Stellar cast
Anne Hathaway is hilarious
Similar to its predecessors, Ocean’s 8 is a subtle heist that communicates more in montages and facial expressions than in intense dialogue. It moves at a steady pace with an ending I didn’t see coming. The best part is admiring the talented actresses.

Good action scenes
Decent action/heist film
The trailer for Netflix most recent own film had me sold. Looking like a Special forces heist film with all guns blazing. Sadly it isn't quite like that for the duration of the film. It takes a while to build up to the action and then it's more about the escape. Which has little action until the end of the film. The action scenes are good though. If you were hoping for a mix of Heat with the Expendables then this isn't it. It does pose some brief issues on a deeper level about ex-forces personnel and morals, friendship but only a little. Always good to hear some Metallica blasting out in a film though.

Fun tone
A breezy film that gets by on the strength of its cast

Oceans 8 is a fun time. It's biggest strength is its cast who each give something to the movie to help it climb above a plot that is often a little lacking. It is a good time and I enjoyed many aspects of it, although the heist itself left a little to be desired. It was all a little too by the numbers and lacked the level of excitement that a heist movie needs to elevate itself above the others. That being said, it sets the franchise on a good path and whatever direction they choose to go next- it's got my interest.

Cracking Thriller
A very good heist/crime thriller with a very good cast of mainly British actors on show. A role that seems to fit Jason Statham like a glove, playing a cockney East London gangster. He has the chance to pull one last big Bank Job but that is where all his troubles begin. This is a very good entertaining film, that is slick, stylish and a tad raunchy too. It stays very truthful to the 70's period in all manner of ways, which is good to see. This isn't just a good heist film though as the story involves all sorts of double crosses, making it a very good crime thriller to. Make sure you see it.
