Thoughts
Ah, loved this. It's a frothy fun heist movie and nothing more. The plotting isn't intricate, other than the inevitable twists and turns and double-crossing along the way, but it grabs you and sweeps you along on a wave of the three fabulous leads and quite a lot of comedy. I wasn't expecting to laugh as much as I did.
I've seen some snippy reviews and critics opinions to this, but it's supposedly the highest movie draw Netflix have seen, and I believe they're going to make two sequels going forward, so it can't be all that bad! I really enjoyed it, and to be honest, was sad when it was over!
