The Heist of The Century

          

      Based on a true story, this new film from Argentina recounts one of the largest bank robberies in Argentina's history. A bored artist and self-proclaimed stoner, Fernado (played by Diego Perreti) decides to rob the Banco Rio believing it will give his life meaning. He puts together a ragtag team of six middle-aged accomplices to help him pull it off.

       The film co-stars Guillermo Francella, as Mario (who steals the film), Pablo Rago as Sebastian, Mariano Argento as Debauza, Juan Alari as Paisa and Rafael Ferro as Alberto. Six men you would never suspect to pull off an intricate heist as the one Fernado puts together. With diverse personalities and lots of charm, the five actors have great chemistry and it is a sheer delight to watch them pull together, despite different motives, to rob the bank.

        Fun and yet suspenseful, fans of this genre (who doesn't like a good heist flick?) will absolutely enjoy the novel way they carry out the robbery.
