I really didn't care for the first two-thirds of this movie. The last third was pretty good, but not good enough to save it.

I felt the opposite of JC13. First half was solid and I enjoyed the planning and the execution, however the last 30 minutes was quite predictable and annoyingly ironic like many 40s and 50s crime films.
