American Heist (2014)
Here's a story of two brothers. One's doing OK. The other just got out of jail after ten hard years of time. The former blames the other. The other makes some stupid decisions, like teaming up with a pair of psychos to rob a bank. The former doesn't have a choice but to go along with it. There's a girl involved. She's a cop (well, a 'glorified operator'), and before you know it the two brothers and the duo of killers are involved in one big battle against the banks. A heist. It all goes wrong, but it doesn't all go wrong... but I'd better not spoil it all!
The realism in action is great, as is the filming. The actors (somewhat unknown to me, but definitely familiar) put on a great performance, occasionally adding some interesting Selfie-angled filming for particularly personal scenes. There's a car, there's a bar, there's a story, of fall and glory. It's a good movie but... not sure what it's doing for me. It's moody, melancholy, with hiphop music all leet. And I wrote a little rhyme for it but I can't find a tall beat. Good watch.
