Righteous Thieves

#MondayMovies

As other reviewers have said, why was tis movie even made? The title, cool images, and even the opening music told me I was in for a fun movie. 10 minutes later I was logging in to read the plot and reviews just to see if I was watching the movie I thought I was watching. So this <40 year old is the leader of a secret organization and capable of acquiring financial support. Also very capable of sensual appeal and knows where to find a good hair and nail salon. The movie could have been a 40 minute television show, ala. It Takes a Thief or one of the several other shows from the 70s. The crew are all enjoyable, the tech is good, the ease with which things are done is expected and the outcome is very weak.

Imagine every possible cinema cliché smashed together with amateur writing, gimmicky effects and bellow average directing. From explosions that look like keyed out greenscreen motion graphics just thrown onto some footage to cringeworthy "hacking scenes" I spent more time laughing at this film than enjoying the story, it's a serious movie with a serious storyline but fails to give any backstory or further information on the characters involved, we almost just get thrown into heist scenes with no real motive for anything? I struggle to connect with the characters or what the greater mission is. Watch this film for a quick cringeworthy laugh but it's a highschool experimental film level movie. I think the writer's idea was well intentioned and it really could've been a great film, if only the execution was better 🙁

Until the opening credits ended. Dreadful accents, cliche upon cliche, all with that B-Movie look. I don't quite know what it is, but you recognize it immediately. Somebody who really shouldn't have tried to make a movie. What a waste. Of time, effort, money. Whatever. It's a good premise too. We still don't know where all that looted art went. If indeed it went anywhere. South America? Private collections? Swiss Bank vaults? Such a shame. If only someone had told this director to just STOP. I felt it was my duty to warn you. To spare you. I'll never get those minutes back. Please DON'T watch this.

I don't know what I was expecting from a straight to video heist movie but what I had in mind was certainly better than whatever this poor excuse for a movie is. I didn't think it was possible to make a heist movie boring but I guess there's a first time for everything. Unfortunately instead of a movie this feels more like a Network TV pilot for a show on CBS or ABC. There are a lot of long drawn out scenes here of just characters talking and when action scenes happen they are poorly shot and staged. The cast isn't able to elevate this either with the exception of Cam Gigandet who cheeses it up to 10 here trying to desperately add some life to this movie. Righteous Thieves is more like Dull Thieves with a bad script, lame story, boring characters and poorly staged and directed scenes. If you're having a lazy Sunday afternoon and you have nothing else to watch I'd recommend this but other than that avoid this at all costs.

Bad people do deserve punishment, but hitting them directly won't cut it. Stealing from bad guys really relies on a series of assumptions and careful planning, but having a safety net is like having hidden pieces on the chessboard to prevent moles and set up moles. Seeing from the trailer that a group of people with various skills are getting together to plan an art heist, it's such an exciting and tense scenario that builds up anticipation. You're waiting to see each team member shine in their roles, but the actual content spends quite a bit of time setting up the legitimacy of the art heist, which takes away from the unexpected surprises. Comparing it to another incredible movie about outsmarting bad guys and stealing their stuff, "Now You See Me," it falls a bit short, to be honest.

Good story and could be a great watch. However, it's a badly directed movie, which makes this film boring to watch. Cust is not good either. I watched this movie for about 10 minutes and gave up. It's like watching in high school theater low-level play. What could have been a pretty solid heist story is thwarted by budgetary shortcomings, bits of awkward or confusing writing, and draggy direction that makes things feel like they're taking too long. Viewers are forced to deal with unremarkable characters and stale banter, which doesn't sell the electricity of the players and their specific game.

How refreshing to observe an ingeniously planned burglary with no guns allowed!! Should a movie be considered or labelled 'weak" simply because of a lack of firearms? What about one of the sexiest team of thieves ever to commit a robbery? Not to mention the high-tech wizardry employed to achieve their goals... Don't take my word for it...look them over yourself. You won't be able to take your eyes away!! The meticulous planning involved was fascinating to follow, aside from the fact it reveals what a truly good hacker is capable of. The entire story was such fun I actually watched it twice, without ever feeling boring. There was plenty of action, the teamwork was plainly visible and this film proves that a movie does not require an abundance of shooting, gore or blood to make it entertaining.. What about You? Are You going to allow the "bad" reviews to discourage you from plunging into the movie and judging it for yourself??

All I have to see is a chick that's in station 19 she Musta got a boob job. She's like awful actress awful so once I saw her in it I didn't even bother the other ones that cam guy with his like smirky look it's just over the top no thanks it's clade it's just ridiculously stupid waste of time don't bother There's so many of these kind of crappy shows coming out with like terrible actors it just now I'm starting to realise it when you see an actor like in Station 19 or the rookie or Grey's Anatomy or any of those kind of shows you know that's that that's all they're gonna do Just like friends member that show they never could break the mould out of that and that's all they were and that's all they were known for same thing with any of these actors I tried to do action flicks, but they come from stupid TV shows waste of time waste of money.
