Perhaps due to being in the U.S., I had never heard of the Hatton Garden jewel heist before seeing this movie. I try to watch everything Timothy Spall is in. This miniseries did not disappoint.
This has a rich blend of ensemble older actors, and you root for them just enough to help you forget they are the bad guys. The plot is developed carefully, so that the story, though a bit complex with its several lead characters, entertains and doesn’t leave us behind.
I watched a documentary and read about the robbery later and felt they stayed very close to what actually happened.
