Rating: 9 out of 10, I loved this
movie because it was smart and didn’t fall for cheap sensationalism just
because it involved a crew of women trying to pull off a heist. Viola Davis
towers over the plot, as she is wont to do, but the gold plated queen from
Guardians of the Galaxy, Elizabeth Debicki, also proved she is much more than
just a pretty face. A high end heist crew is killed during a rip off of a crime
lord who demands recompense from their surviving spouses. There is a series of
subplots involving Chicago city politics as well which is expertly knitted into
a movie for adults. I know the attention span challenged will have problems
with this film because it does require a little patience but that patience is
needed as actors build their characters into someone you can relate to. This is
a very good movie.
MVP: Debecki as Alice, much deeper
than she looks
