Daylight Robbery (2008)

I felt robbed - and I didn't even pay to see it

I think the fact that this movie is already on television for free says it all really. All or nearly all of the positive reviews are written by shills.

This movie is dire, you find yourself waiting a long time for things to happen which never arrive, the acting was weak, awful in some parts. The heist itself was not clever or well executed, and basically took an hour to show what could have been done in five or ten minutes. I can't comment on the ending because i turned it off and went to sleep. Really.

Avoid at all costs, I like rubbish low budget British movies but this really really isn't worth it.

Not very good, actually strike that, total trash. Avoid!

Sorry, I'm not going to write the most in depth review ever, if you want something more in detail, have a browse, there are only 10 pages of reviews, and all of them apart from the first 2 pages (surprise surprise!) have some reviews which break down the movie very well. I just had to write something, after seeing so many reviews saying this film is amazing. Is there something funny going on here? If you can't be bothered to read any further I'll sum it up in a sentence: Don't go to see this unless you like things like: Knocked Up, Superbad, etc; I didn't pay to watch this film and I still feel robbed.

There are so many things wrong with this movie, on so many levels, it's almost unbelievable, it seems like the whole thing was cobbled together with no thought whatsoever. The first ten minutes look promising, with potentially a few subplots looking to develop, but as soon as he 'wanders in' to the card counting gang and the professor... you know it's going to be... well, poo really. From there the storyline pretty much disintegrates, there's no continuity at all, and the movie doesn't really seem to actually be about anything, there's not really much about blackjack, the pathetic 'love story', or any of the 'friendships' at all.... I'm not sure what else to say really, it's hard to criticise as there's so little substance. It IS however, easy to pick the S out of the entire plot, but I won't ruin the only possible enjoyment to be had from this piece of C. when are we going to get some good movies? please!!
