Overall Call:
I had very high hopes for this picture featuring three generations of unbelievable acting talent. Unfortunately that's about all I received. The movie was shot with a solid Hollywood gloss and the locations used were great (particularly Brando's empty pool scene and all the shots in DeNiro's house and jazz club). The story is where I was let down significantly, it tended to drag a bit. While it would have stood tall in Brando's heyday, the plot was just mediocre. The actors were all outstanding. Jamie Harrold even gave a nice fresh take on the amped up self-imposed recluse computer hacker Steven. In the end I was captivated by the actual heist but let down a bit by the recycled plot. Overall the performers entertained me. If you miss it in the theatre keep it in mind for a good future rental.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ The actors
+ Visually easy to watch
