A prequel to Army of the Dead (which I tried to watch and couldn't), this is moderately good. A heist crew is looking to break into a series of legendary safes (known as the Wagner Ring) before they are moved to undisclosed locations. The planning is all done, and the new safe-cracker to the team makes all the difference. The team runs into internal strife and ultimately, only the safecracker (Dieter) makes it on to the next in series. Quirky characters and relationships make it fun, but in reality, low quality heist thrill prevents this from being an outstanding film. The safes just seemingly crack them selves??? Probably there is lots of foreshadowing that I would have appreciated if I watched the original, but on its own, only mid-level quality.
3 stars (out of 5)
