The theme of crime movies is generally the destruction of social order, the struggle against the evil forces that endanger the peaceful life of the public, and the satisfaction of their own risk-taking psychology.
The high-IQ crime movie has less violence on the basis of the crime movie, and more of a high IQ, the direction of the plot, the method of committing the crime, and the reversal of the plot can firmly grasp the audience's attention, and the impact of this thinking and wisdom can also bring a huge impact on the audience's spirit.

At the beginning of the film, Danny is released from prison, but as soon as he comes out, he prepares to form a team to steal $100 million from three casinos owned by Terry Benedict in Las Vegas.
Benedict seemed to be difficult to deal with, his casino operation was very regular, he himself was very regular, he observed the operation of the casino at a fixed time, he knew each of his employees, and he was meticulous but very fierce.
The team first conducted a field trip to figure out how the casino worked, determine Benedict's time patterns, familiarize themselves with the duties and habits of each employee, find out the fastest path to the vault, and so on.
For the field trip to the casino, the team developed several plans.
The power system was first put in place, and on the day of the robbery, a city-wide power outage could be carried out, but it was only 30 seconds.
Secondly, the monitoring system was taken care of, and the casino system was perfect, it could not be invaded from the outside, it needed to be invaded from the inside. By stealing an identity pass from a member, the team's Malloy brothers create a quarrel at the casino, allowing Del to smoothly enter the internal machine room.
Then the simulation vault, the team simulated the vault one-to-one, for normal training, but the actual simulation vault is for the final day stealing day.
The fourth step, password acquisition, because the vault password is known only to Benedict and is changed every twelve hours, it is necessary to keep an eye on him at all times in order to obtain the vault password on the day of the robbery.
The fifth step, traffic problems, because transportation is needed to transport a lot of cash.
The sixth step is to put the bomb into the vault, at which point Thor is required to play. Posing as a successful arms dealer, he communicated with Benedict in the hope of keeping one of his valuable items in the vault, which had the appearance of a gemstone and was actually a bomb elaborately designed by Tal.
Everything is ready, just wait for the robbery to be carried out on the day of the boxing match, but the date is getting closer and closer, the team has frequent accidents, the power damage is repaired by the power company; Yuan is injured one-handedly; Orson's ex-wife is actually Benedict's current girlfriend, in order to meet his ex-wife, Orson was recognized by Benedict in advance, causing Osson to leave early; Saul due to his age, physical problems and so on.
Whether these questions are coincidences or accidents, how the squad stole the cash from the vault, and how they transported it after stealing, the little friends who want to know can watch it on their own, because it involves spoilers.
Although the movie is some clichéd group robbery, the plan is not very meticulous, but it does not prevent this from being a successful crime movie, with a humorous plot to drive the recommendation of the story, the laugh point is very natural, rather than through some rough words to achieve comedy to achieve the effect of comedy.
And the film has the logic and tension of traditional high-IQ crime, and the ending is suspenseful, which is very eye-catching.
There are also many highlights of the movie, such as the whole movie is closely related to the casino, where you can see a lot of casino content.
Secondly, although the ending can be guessed, it is still deeply attracted by the modus operandi.
Then there are seemingly internal discord, there are many problems, but in fact, it is planned, and a harmonious team is also loved by the audience.
Finally, of course, this crime boy band, Xiaobian will continue to introduce the next two sequels "Twelve Arhats" and "Thirteen Arhats", like the little friends can pay attention to the next ~
