3 Things (2017)
4/10
Good story, horrible execution

While I think the screenwriting along with the many lines were terrible, I think the plot had some good ideas that they tried to show.

We have some classic Stockholm syndrome, where in the beginning, the guards have a grudge with the main antagonist but eventually lays off their guard and sort of acknowledge him for how well he executed the heist he did, and the antagonists ex girlfriend eventually forgive him for what he did, clearly because she didn't got that closure they both needed 7 years earlier.

Thus we see the main antagonist in his manipulating charm, where we learn that he really is dangerous and selfish because he figured out that the other antagonists where coming for him, and he tries to figure out how he can escape the way he did.

Finally he thought of everything and is escaping with 4.200.000 DKK (roughly 619.329 USD) to go life off the rest of his live in Spain, but even though he got what most would call a happy ending, he didn't get the love of his life because her morality is just way above the main antagonist and she couldn't live with that. Also she felt like she was lied to, which was one of the reasons on why they broke up to begin with. But him not getting her makes the classic "I got all that I needed but at what cost and is it really worth it now?" scheme.

These were good points in the movie, but horrible screenwriting and terrible screencasting drag the movie down.
