Review of Gold Brick

Gold Brick (I) (2023)
5/10
It's not another american heist movie... it's french
23 July 2023
We have a "Heist" movie with all the tropes that american movies made popular and well... tropes. So... it gives us something new... coming from Europe/France? Not really. The script is good. Good enough twists (I guess some would acuse them of obvious?) and everything coming from the characters works. I was entertained.

But the movie lacks... something. If it wanted to be comedic... just wasn't funny enough. If it wanted to be "light hearted heist movie", it had too much negativity motivating the characters and a bit too much malice coming from them for that.

And if it wanted to be a french "Ocean's Eleven"... just no. It didn't have the style/glamour, which is understandable of course. So, in the end, it was fine. It wasn't bad. But it's just not memorable at all and only recommendable for fans of the sub-genre.
