The pacing is leisurely but engaging, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere, which feels both elegant and mischievous. The performances have a certain flair, with a cast that seems to relish the art of deception and wit. Practical effects take center stage here, grounding the heists in a tangible reality rather than relying on flashy CGI.
