I wanted to like this more than I did. I mean three female burglurs on a revenge-based heist sounds pretty good. Don't have to worry about the moral implications of cheering on the thieves when they're stealing from the drug crew run by the abusive husband of the head thief's sister. Especially after he throws his wife out of a moving car...
But the movie splits too much of its focus between the burglary crew and the grey hat head enforcer of the mob guy. And it has several scenes that I can't even understand the purpose of. Like when one of the women gets her hand broken. For stealing. Except there is no explanation as to what she was stealing or why her employers (who are drug smugglers and money launders) would then let her go back to work for them. Or that scene where the head burglar, after getting out of jail attacks some dude with a bat. Why'd she do that? No idea...
Perhaps I was just missing something in the translation. But those several inexplicable sequences, a few overly complicated portions of the heist plan and the general lack of real character depth keeps this from being a movie to recommend...
