I always like true stories and after reading some of the news stories about the heist, this one held pretty close to the truth. I also wanted to see it for the local content- Kentucky. Never did figure out why they showed an interstate exit sign on I26 in western NC for the towns of Spruce Pine and Burnsville....ideas? Maybe I missed something- like a side trip to Charlotte?
Also got the feeling that the writers were trying to convey the consequences of these dreams/fantasies the boys were thinking about. Seven years (especially early twenties) in a Federal prison must have been hard, but at least they were not put in a maximum security facility. I didnt love the language- yes, many folks do talk like this (F--- word continuously) but my experience revealed its not the norm.
