I watched this movie on Netflix.
Saw this one was leaving Netflix last month so decided to finally knock it off my list of shame before it was gone. (July 2025)
This was really good! I liked it a lot. Now that I've also seen Point Break, it's interesting to see the similarities but a lot of it flipped on it's head. Affleck and Renner are great in this. (Kinda funny to see Batman and Hawkeye as brothers).
A heist movie more about the character drama, which I love and the intertwining nature of one getting secretly involved with a witness to their crimes. Twist, turns, and great moments.
Also the moment where they thieves get out of their car fully armed wearing nun masks and look over to see a cop staring at them. Then the cop turns to look away, had me dying laughing.
Good writing, good pacing, some fun gags, intriguing plot and story... and left just open ended enough to leave you wanting more. Glad I finally knocked this off my list of shame.
Mistake Status: N/A.

Doug MacRay: I need your help. I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna hurt some people.
James Coughlin: Whose car we takin'?
Question: Toward the end of the movie, one of the gang members visits a barber shop and picks up a small bag of cut hair swept from the floor. I cannot remember any follow-up to this scene showing how or where this cut hair was used. I have asked several people who have seen the movie and no one seems to know what happened to this hair. Was there any follow-up to this scene or did I blink and miss the part that shows what they did with it?
Answer: The bag of hair from the barbershop was used to throw off the police when they search the getaway car later. In other words they will find all the scattered hair and have the wrong DNA. This is what they do after the second heist. They never used one at the end since the cops already knew who they were.
