The Forger (2014)
5/10
Family first, heist second
10 December 2015
I almost feel like the filmmakers decided to forge what this movie was supposed to be, the plot summary and even poster makes it sound like a proper heist-flick with flashy pictures and talks of 'it's never too late for one last heist'.

But it's more a father/son relationship drama than it is a thrilling heist movie.

Nothing wrong with that but why not advertise it as such as most heist film fans are bound to be let down?

And when it is about the heist everything is super simplified and it's just not very realistic so it never gives you a 'whoa' factor either.

The acting is okay, and it's not horrible but nothing really stands out and it ends out and the lack of action for most part of the duration makes it a rather forgettable experience.
