    • Trivia
      Korina's backstory claims she hacked a copy of the film Pirates of the Caribbean 2 (2006) and released it online before the film's scheduled release. In reality, while POTC 2 was never hacked and released online, the fifth installment of the Pirates franchise (2017) was indeed hacked, stolen, and held for ransom before being released online. Presumably, changing which film was hacked allowed the story to align more with Korina's age in her backstory.
    • Goofs
      A main plot point in this film involves agents from INTERPOL attempting to apprehend the thieves and getting thwarted while actively pursuing them. In point of fact, INTERPOL is not a law enforcement agency and none of their agents have any law enforcement or arrest powers. INTERPOL acts as a liaison between law enforcement across member nations and offers databases, technical and operational support to and between member nations.
    • Quotes

      Gwendoline: Do we say something?

      Korina: No. Too much time has gone by. It's weird now. Should we just leave and then knock?

      Gwendoline: Or how about when he comes back in, we yell "surprise"?

      Korina: That seems like a terrible, terrible idea.

      [Dieter enters the room]

      Korina: Surprise!

      Gwendoline: Surprise!

      Dieter: [screaming, in German] Shit, shit, shit!

      [in English]

      Dieter: All the hairs on my chest burned off.

      Korina: You sure they were there to begin with?

      Dieter: They're blonde, so you cannot see them, but they were there and they were glorious.

    The Safe Mechanisms are Beautifully Conveyed

    The acting was great across the line and kept me engaged. The plot was cliche, but what do you expect, its a recycled idea, but that's what makes it great. I've seen the story told time and time again, yet it still stayed engaging throughout. The cinematography is faultless especially the way the safe mechanisms are beautifully conveyed. I really enjoyed the movie whole time , a bit comical with series of bank heist . The acting and cinematography , background music all spot on.
