🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a compelling cat-and-mouse game by contrasting Blanchard's calm, detailed narration with the growing frustration of the detectives on his trail. It relies heavily on firsthand accounts and archival footage to explore the psyche of a criminal motivated not by wealth, but by the thrill of the game and intellectual vanity.
What lingers after viewing is a fascination with the meticulous planning and audacity of the heists, rather than any moral judgment. — MovieFinder Editorial
