In 2006, five men robbed a bank in the city of Acassuso in the province of Buenos Aires and escaped with over $19 million. They were hailed by the population as modern Robin Hoods, because many who had previously lost their savings during the financial crisis saw it as a higher justice that a bank should now be made to pay. Based on the heist hyped by the media as the "robbery of the century", director Ariel Winograd’s crime comedy tells the story of how the greying heartthrob Luis and his buddies penetrate the bank, empty 145 deposit boxes and escape via a sewer, even though the bank is surrounded by police. This entertaining thriller is carried by its charismatic character actors and a lot of situation comedy. (Zurich Film Festival)
