Storyline
Thom, a genius engineering graduate, is interested in the Bank of Spain's safe. The Bank building is more than 100 years old, with no building blueprints available and a security system that includes an underground river that will flood the safe room if their walls are breached. As soon as Thom learns that a legendary lost treasure is going to be held at the bank's safe for just ten days, he devises, together with charismatic art dealer Walter "Cunningham," a detailed plan to break in. They will only have 105 minutes to do so while the Bank's staff will be distracted, watching the 2010 Football World Cup final match, played by Spain's national football team and broadcast on a giant screen, coincidentally placed just in front of the Bank of Spain building.

- TriviaFreddie Highmore is fluent in Spanish.
- GoofsThe divers at the start of the movie use standard scuba regulators and demand valves that sit in the mouth. It is all but impossible to speak to another diver with such a mouthpiece, and unless you have a full face mask, impossible to communicate with a surface vessel.

- Crazy creditsThe song "Hell Is Around The Corner" in the music portion of the credits is listed as being performed by "Trick", instead of the artist's actual name of Tricky.

Entertaining heist movie, filmed in Spain.
This is the type of movie that, if you wanted to analyze it in detail, you could probably find quite a number of "flaws." But doing that would miss the point entirely. It is just an entertaining heist movie, the target is an impenetrable bank vault in Madrid. It s set during the 2010 soccer World Cup where Spain beat The Netherlands 1-0 and Spanish crowds were cheering in the streets and watching on a giant TV screen.
The movie starts with a British ocean exploratory team finding loot on a Spanish ship that sank in 1645, but Spanish authorities intercept them on open water. One piece was of particular interest and the heist in question was planned to recover it. The biggest problem was figuring out the heist.
Freddie Highmore (about 28), who also produced, plays a 22-yr-old college graduate who already had established a reputation for coming up with genius ideas. His job would be to figure out the impossible. Being basically a good, honest guy his only attraction to the job was to solve the impossible. The challenge.
My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library. It is scripted and acted in such a way to create tension at a number of places, the viewer wonders "How will they get out of this one?" Sort of reminded us of "Mission Impossible."
It runs almost 2 hours but it never seemed too long. Good entertaining movie.
