Check out some of the films we're looking forward to.Not to the point you’ll be begging for a sequel, but for a Sunday afternoon, this is definitely something worth watching. While by no means complicated or trying to compete with Oceans 11, or other heist movies, The Vault keeps you entertained for two hours. And because of that, when you see all that they go through to pull the job off, it makes you think, “There isn’t this much loyalty in the world.” Simon (Luis Tosar) doing his part of heistĪdd in money doesn’t appear to be an issue for anyone involved, except maybe Lorraine, and it really pushes you to wonder if this is all done for a thrill or not? Overall Perhaps the main issue that we have with The Vault is that no one has a compelling reason to be part of this job beyond loyalty or Thomas’ claim of wanting a challenge – though we know it was really Lorraine. On The Fence The Reasoning Behind People Being Part Of The Heist Isn’t Strong Making it so, by the end of the film, you get why many posters have Berges-Frisbey as top billing. However, they give her a backstory, make her into this talented pickpocket, and make her essential for the job to go well. LorraineĮasily Lorraine could have just been one of two female characters, amongst the whole 2-hour film, and have just been Thomas’ love interest. We have no problem omitting characters if they didn’t feel necessary to mention. And while we don’t have much to say about these two, don’t think that is downplaying how much they keep things moving in the film. And repeatedly, it is her advice and presence which seems to bring Thomas to finding a resolution to whatever problem he, or the group, is facing.Īs for the rest of the group? Klaus is your general hacker, who is cool enough, and thankfully not so geeky it’s like he is speaking a foreign language, and Simon? Well, he just comes off like that cool uncle who gave you your first taste of liquor when you were 12. For example, Thomas is someone who overthinks to the point he stays up 40+ hours trying to solve a problem Walter has tasked him with, and Lorraine is the one who helps him calm down and inspires a solution. Then with Lorraine, while this is something flirty going on between her and Thomas, it isn’t 100% clear if it is something romantic or her doing what she needs to get the best out of him.
So having someone question it makes you feel less alone in not understanding how certain things work. Mainly because most of what Thomas says doesn’t make sense. And even outside of their leadership, you have to appreciate Riley as James for being the group’s pessimist. Between Highmore and Cunningham, they make the perfect duo to play the leads that are trying to get Simon, James, Lorraine, and Klaus prepped and able to execute the plan. What makes The Vault entertaining, despite it being nearly 2 hours, is that it has the right cast to handle such a lengthy movie.
