6/10
Netflix flick
24 September 2019
This is an actual sequel to the 2006 Spike Lee movie Inside Man straight to Netflix. A group of Euro-robbers take hostages at the Federal Reserve in New York City led by a woman calling herself "Most Wanted". The FBI takes charge and Dr. Brynn Stewart (Rhea Seehorn) is assigned to lead. Smooth-talking NYPD hostage negotiator Remy Darbonne (Aml Ameen) joins the team. The robbers open up an unused part of the vault to find their intended target, Nazi gold.

This is mostly fine as a bank robbery capper. I like Seehorn and Ameen. They have good energy together. The robbers have interesting charisma especially the big guy and tiny girl. I don't really understand the Nazi gold aspect. Gold is gold and they're melting it anyways. I guess it's inferring that these are Nazis getting their gold back but Nazis stealing other people's gold would be just as good. It's a fine B-level movie which fits perfectly with having a quiet Netflix night.
