i find this to be a watchable all be it very predictable movie . there be some good stunt work that give a fair degree of excitement and suspense to the story . one do however have to suspend one credulity on a number of occasion for the plot to work . for example despite lose their transfer cable and coupling and harness when the pilot retract the undercarriage manually and they fortunately find a spare on board the aircraft complete with caribbean . accord to the plot drill a hole in the ceiling of the vault would disable the alarm system in the vault when the system be reactivate ( i can not think why ) and accord to daltry there battery operate drill would be unable to drill through the vault ceiling however they just happen to have a hydraulic drill complete with hose and fitting to fit the equally convenient take off point in the plane hydraulic system locate above the vault . a the plane have a close hydraulic system it be hard to see how this could be accomplish without affect the control system or at least set hydraulic pressure alarm in the cockpit . accept this for the sake of the plot it take them several minute to drill a small hole through the top of the vault ( tension will they be able to drill through before feed get there to check the false alarm ) and yet from the time the vault door close and before the fed have walk the few foot to the second security door they have cut a squire hole in the roof of the vault big enough for them to get through . one can accept all thesis and other inconsistency for the sake of a good yarn and however what spoil the movie for me be when what appear to have be an effort by the script writer to discuses what up to that point be a fairly predictable end and they kill off the two hero ( if one can refer to crock a hero ) ketchum and brook one be shoot and throw out of a 747 at 10 and 000 foot the other wily slide down the cable between the two plane the villain daltry with one hand manage to unhook the cable carry the weight of a full grown man with the air pressure of several hundred mile per hour press on him and and let him fall to his death . and yet in the next sequence these two without any kind of explanation ( however tenuous or implausible ) have miraculously survive the full from 10 . 000 foot and have time to set up an elaborate scam to get the money . the only comment on there survival be to sophie that her brother be a bad shot . don not expect an oscar nomination for this one .
