I don't have time to go into detail, but I found the movie failed to really convey the effort and skill involved in the heist. The computer hacking seemed effortless (and worse, riskless), but I could have lived with that. But I feel the film was hurt by the fact that a key dramatic moment, the safecracking, was very unclear. The heroine acts anxious, but how and what she was doing I did not know, so I couldn't really care. She panics for a minute, does something or other to figure out the combination, it works, and the film moves on.
And man, was it just me, or does the fact that the hero and heroine get together at the end come out of nowhere? Was there even a single line of dialogue hinting at romance?
