211 (2018)
Inspired by one of the longest and bloodiest real-life events in police history, Officer Mike Chandler and a young civilian passenger find themselves under-prepared and outgunned when fate puts them squarely in the crosshairs of a daring bank heist in progress by a fearless team of highly-trained and heavily-armed men.

Simply A Masterpiece
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Granted that I had little expectations for "211" from writer and director York Alec Shackleton when I sat down to watch it. Why? Well, solely because this was just screaming to be another Nicolas Cage movie.So was it? Both yes and no. Yes, in the sense that he trotted on with his usual stumped performance with just a single grimace throughout the entire movie. No, because the storyline sort of veered from the usual stuff that he participates in.Was it a good movie? Nah, it was adequate, albeit quite generic. The storyline had its moments, not many, but it had them. But for a bank heist movie, then it offered very little to the cinematic experience that haven't already been seen in other bank heist movies.The dialogue in the movie was good, and the characters were good, which definitely worked in favor of the movie. However, some of the things that the bank robbers were doing just made so little sense, especially since they were supposed to be highly trained military people.All in all, an adequately entertaining movie that will suffice if you have nothing more pressing on the to-watch-list. But this is hardly a movie that you will be returning to watch a second time around.
Military uniform - no shiny rank in the sandbox; uniform says US Army but cap is Marine Corps; DCU is from Desert Storm era; body armor and escort gun truck missing; ACU gator neck scarf wasnt available until post-2003Weapons - double drum magazine wasnt available until after 2002; half the weapons shown in the robbery were in R&D during the time depicted; Vehicles - Cadillac used in robbery wasnt made til after 2004;Bank - supposed to be at Unity Savings and Loan but officer reported it as National BankSmartphone - phone used for navigating wasnt made til after 2006Police - rookie cop knows hospital medical terms;
If you don't like Nicholas Cage don't rent and don't rate this movie. It's action packed, feel good, fun, exciting, kept us on the edge of our seats. I recommend it.
In this movie (which I know is fictional) cops seem so incompetent/ can't shoot!!! It was so unrealistic I was actually hurting an stoped watching! NO NO NO..If the movie is lacking in substance don't just fill it with mindless shoothing (where every one misses)....just don't make it! And a 1 star is to much..
