A Brief Comment on "The Strong Men's Money Robbery Group"

A few years ago, there was an Indian movie "Three Idiots" that was all the rage, of course its title was just a self-deprecation. However, if the "three idiots" are used in "The Strong Men's Money Robbery Group", I personally think it is really appropriate.

In Hollywood, high-IQ crime films have long been commonplace, but low-IQ crime films like this one are relatively rare, especially since they are also adapted from real events, with low crime methods, stupid criminals' minds, full of loopholes, and left-sided Right clumsy, it is both anxious and irritating. Crime can be so nonsensical, in one word: I served U.

On the whole, dealing with it in such a way is probably the best destination for this story. Michael Bay doesn't even need to delve too much into how the plot is arranged, because the prototype is there, and "stupidity" itself is the best label for these criminals and even this incident. The B-level tablets of the middle and upper level have basically been formed.

I don't think it's necessary to give too much connotation to such a film, such as distorted values, distorted American dream, or any educational significance. There are so many realist works criticizing these things, how can you still care about these two B-rated films? Just like Guo Degang's cross talk, at best it's Tu Yile! isn't it?
