A bad movie and a good movie in one movie
This feels weird to me because I can seperates the reviews of this movie into two parts with different impressions. The first part of the movie was very awkward, the actors were overacting, and the catchphrases were very cringe. The personality of actors seems forced that make it looks like they were acting rather than a natural act. It makes me feels like watching a soap opera rather than an action movie. They were very bad at explaining that it feels like they were reading a textbook. The good first part was when the protagonist angry out of stress after done making the art. After that the movie back again with a cringe moment where they create a plan and explaining it. It just very bad in that sense so I score it around 4 only for the first part.

But after the first heist done, somehow the movie feels very different and become more interesting. The acting more fluid and more natural. The heist become really-really good, and the action said the same. The only awkward thing was when they added a new character out of nowhere, who was good at fighting, but there was no explanation who he was. And the other bad thing was about the ending where the movie just ends abruptly, even though there still so many thing that need to be questioned and answered.

Overall for the entire length of the movie, the second part contrastly different than the first part, make it just like a different movie mashed up together, that's how awkward is this. For the second part I give 8.5.

Next is music. The music (or OST) in this movie is very horrible and out of place. It just like an ost out of a comedy sketch. This should be not implemented in this kind of movie. Even if it is, it should not be placed in the entire of movie. It was very unbearable, especially for someone that enjoy atmospheric music in movie like myself.

The Cinematography of this film is superb. That's the only thing I constantly enjoyable from start to finish. If there was no noticable CG, I score it 10 for cinematography alone. But because there were a minor imperfect CG, I score it 9.

Looking at the after ending, my expectation there will be a second movie. I hope the producer learn from mistakes and create more enjoyable movie in the future.
