The Rise

It may not be immune to the odd Brit thriller clich, but this is an assured, stylish heist thriller from the debut filmmaker.

This British heist picture is familiar but energetic genre filmmaking, more interesting in its particulars than in its overall conception.

The constant spinning of wheels drains the piece of its energy until a final act gets so convoluted that the whole thing falls apart.

A derivative amalgamation of heist genre classics, all the while bearing an excessively smug grin.
