I've been mugged

Watching films like this are actually very good for your sense of self worth. Usually when you watch a film you think to your self, I could never come up with this sort of stuff, be it the script the direction, the acting or the way it is shot. With Daylight Robbery however you realise that my god, I COULD do better than this this is absolutly dire.

It tries to sit between the two stools of Maty heist film and grity crimwatch reconstruction but fails to hit either and ends up on its arse on the floor. I can only assume that the director is in some way related to someone in the film industry as there is no way your average bloke from a council estate in Reading pitching this crap would ever have got it made.

Its like he;s said to his dad, 'can I have some money to make a film about some bank robbers who try to break out of a bank, thats the twist', and his dad or uncle or whatever has said 'alright son hears the money, don't worry about the rest of the plot or the script, oh and do you need a new sports car yet?'.

I've never done this before but this was so bad that I actually feel I can offer some advice to the director because it was so bad

Some tips for Paris.

If you are going to have your team of good guy robbers threaten to blow up the bank manager unless they get the vault code, try and do some back story in the film to show that the bank manager is a git and so kind of diserves it.

If you are going to let them get away with the cash at the end of the film then at least make it look as if the police do have some chance of stopping them instead of 'bumbling copper' ps there was enough claret left on the bank floor to DNA identify chubby 20million years after the event. It might have been an idea to make chubby a hapless interloper in the plan or a first timer.

And if you are going to kill off a characture then do it with more emotion and dont end with a shot of his widowed wife dolled up with a new haircut and looking extatic at the arrival of a box of money. If thats what you think women want from men, give us a child then die in a horrible manner so that I get lots of cash, then maybe you should get a new girlfirend.

Oh yeah and a romantic sub-plot with the doctor and bank clerckess would have been nice, assuming you were aiming for a more up-beat film. Not some yardy having a chat with an armed copper about how good he is with a gun. ARE YOU MENTAL????

Next time be a bit more careful with your daddies money.
