Daylight Robbery

What to Know

Critics Consensus

This poorly executed brit crime caper wants to be a Guy Ritchie film, but ends up more like an extended Eastenders episode.

3/5
This small-budget heist movie, though hardly very original, is at least made with complete professionalism. Go to Full Review

Imagine a sort of Dog's Dinner Afternoon. Go to Full Review

Daylight Robbery has the away day, the-sun-shines-outside-of-Walford feel of an Enders special. All told, a bit of a Regi Blinker. Go to Full Review
Matthew Turner ViewLondon Aug 29, 2008
2/5
While nicely acted and never less than watchable, Daylight Robbery is ultimately disappointing thanks to unsympathetic characters, some dodgy direction and a stifling lack of tension. Go to Full Review

3/5
Tonally it stumbles between laddish laughs and straight thrills, with the result that Leonti doesn't quite get away with it. Go to Full Review
Tim Evans Sky Cinema Aug 29, 2008
Tonally askew, comedically misjudged and drearily thuggish, this can be filed with any number of post-Lock, Stock caper comedies where psychopaths are portrayed as lovable geezers. Go to Full Review

Sep 30, 2019 I thought that it was an excellent little thriller. Well acted and no unnecessary violence! See more Laurie S @Karlwinters Sep 3, 2019 It began well then descended into farce. See more Jul 27, 2012 Paris Leonti's debut feature film might not be original in any respect, but the director successfully takes a tried and true formula and makes it his own. Enhanced (not hindered) by its small budget, 'Daylight Robbery' is a consistently thrilling heist movie that provides some edge-of-the-seat tension, and could've benefited by more time devoted to fleshing out some of the characters. It is worth mentioning, however, that newcomer Robert Boulter (whose experience comes from some television work) steals the show. Unfairly annihilated by most critics, 'Daylight Robbery' is the perfect beer and pizza night movie. See more Feb 14, 2012 Workable heist movie, but no real surprises in how they go about stealing the money. See more Jan 29, 2012 Great bank robbery flick! See more Nov 23, 2011 A promising idea is let down by weak storytelling in this well-played but lacklustre Brit crime thriller. Acting is bad, Direction is bad, Not much is very good. I say SKIP IT!!! See more Read all reviews
