"Matt Damon and Casey Affleck star in the botched heist action/comedy. I won't say that it's a great movie but it most definitely was entertaining. Casey Affleck gets to show off his comedy chops as he has most of the best lines in the film and is a constant source of levity. The movie is also full of well known faces of accomplished actors. It moves along at a decent pace and even has a few unexpected action sequences thrown in for good measure. Although it was most definitely unrealistic at times, it was entertaining none the less. 7.5/10"
"This is a solid “idiots screw up a heist” movie but I was hoping for a little more. Damon and Casey Affleck get roped in to a hare brained scheme to rob the mayor of Boston’s election party but things, unsurprisingly, don’t go quite as planned. It’s amusing but never laugh out loud funny and it’s entertaining but never really thrilling. There are a ton of familiar faces that pop up in the film (my favorite was Rob Gronkowski doing a cameo as the mayor’s clueless communications director) and the film clips along at a pretty good pace. As long as they aren’t expecting something on the level of The Town or Ocean’s Eleven, I think most people will enjoy this movie.
