The only real heist in the film is the miracle that Hanef Adeni was able to convince a group of talented people to collaborate on this silly film.
The polish of an Annual Day stage play in a primary school, there’s almost nothing that makes you want to sit through this film.
It is pretty basic with an expensive painting that needs to be stolen from a high-security mansion (think The Thomas Crown Affair), but at least there’s the novelty of a heist being set in the Middle East with room for flashy devices and eccentric caricatures.
How little they’ve been able to push this conceit. A heist isn’t as novel as a genre and is not half as interesting as it was before shows like Money Heist (referenced in the film) became a worldwide phenomenon.
For each participant with each of them requiring a sum of money for a family crisis, there just isn’t enough information for them to matter. Their motives might have still worked had they contributed to the comedy.
