The vault 2021 movie#

Nevermind that former terrorist defense administrator, Gustavo Medina, has fools working for him, so that Walter’s team doesn’t get made. Especially since she was originally expecting a cut. Thus, Thomas joins the crew who plan to use the 2010 FIFA World Cup as a distraction and hopes their old associate, Margaret, with MI6, does more to help than hinder the process. But, with Thomas rejecting job offers left and right, no matter how much the starting salary, it seems Walter knows Lorraine has to get involved in coaxing the young man – and she does.

Enter 22-year-old Thomas, often called Thom, who is considered a genius for inventing a concrete bell that lessened the damage an oil company caused in the Gulf of Mexico. What is said problem? Well, that the vault is an engineering marvel that can’t be hacked, drilled into, and handled, at least within the limited time frame that Walter and his crew have.

However, with the treasure, and specifically the coins Walter wants being in the Spanish Bank, they have a problem. Because of this, Walter decides that between him, his pseudo-daughter Lorraine, his business partner James, a hacker named Klaus, and a man who can get almost anything, Simon, they are going to get back the treasure taken from them. The Vault manages to be an entertaining heist film that manages to elevate itself with its great cast and their chemistry.5.1 Does The Vault Have Prequel/ Sequel Potential? PlotĪfter salvaging chests from a Spanish Galleon hinting to where Sir Francis Drake’s buried treasure is, Walter and his crew find themselves robbed by the Spanish government. It’s the actor and his moments during the climactic heist that bumps The Vault a step higher than your average heist film. Tosar as Simon, the explosives expert, becomes the heart and soul of the piece. The find for those familiar with Michael Mann, Jim Jarmusch, and Spanish Cinema will be happy to see the addition of Luis Tosar. Here he plays world-weary stick in the mud with the kind of authority and wit that isn’t typical of this kind of role. Riley has always been underutilized since his brilliant debut in Control.

Here he brings that rapscallion no-bullshit advisor/mentor that made him a favorite on Game of Thrones here. Many will know Cunningham from his work in Game of Thrones. The film’s secret weapon is the supporting cast headed by Liam Cunningham, Sam Riley, and Luis Tosar. The chemistry between the two is one of the highlights of the film. Bergès-Frisbey is all swagger and style to Highmore’s bumbling nerd. It helps that Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as Lorraine his handler of sorts is a star in the making. Here it’s the right sort of infectious devil may care looking for an adventure style of hero that works. Hell, Highmore does it on the regular now in The Good Doctor. The impish socially awkward genius has been done countless times. The combination of actors works great to give us a crew of good and baddies that make The Vault a top to bottom enjoyable ride. Balagueró’s cast is aces with great Spanish and English stars.

Groups working together to solve the tidal wave of problems that come up during the runtime of the film. Essentially, the best of them are hang out films. The only hitch they have ten days to pull the heist off all while the 2010 World Cup takes place.Īny heist film is only as strong as its cast. Their offer help them take back the deep-sea salvage of lost treasure. That comes in the form of Walter (Liam Cunningham) and Lorraine (Astrid Bergès-Frisbey), and their crew (populated with the likes of Sam Riley, Luis Tosar).

Thomas like any good movie hero wants more. Still at Oxford, the young man, has everyone from Big Tech to Oil Companies chomping at the bit to offer him the world. Thomas (Freddie Highmore) is a genius in every sense of the world. Director Jaume Balagueró moves from Zombie Action-Comedy Horror to slick heist films without skipping a beat. The director’s second English language film retains his sense of home (re Spain) while finding himself with a strong Spanish/British cast.
