The scene, the setting and the characters are all familiar, but "The Vault" moves nimbly and efficiently through the motions. Consider this bank job a score.

Liam Cunningham and Freddie Highmore lead the sparkling cast of thieves just crazy enough to try to claim treasure buried deep under the Bank of Spain.

Crackerjack direction and the performances are really fun.

Still, the elaborate solutions that Thom finds to get in and out of the death-trap vault should keep fans of the genre on their toes.
