Movie Info

Freddie Highmore ("The Good Doctor") and Famke Janssen (X-Men) star in this globe-trotting, action-packed thriller following a high-risk heist. When an engineer (Highmore) learns of a mysterious, impenetrable fortress hidden under The Bank of Spain, he joins a crew of master thieves who plan to steal the legendary lost treasure locked inside while the whole country is distracted by Spain's World Cup Final. With thousands of soccer fans cheering in the streets, and security forces closing in, the crew have just minutes to pull off the score of a lifetime. Also starring Astrid Berges-Frisbey (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) and Liam Cunningham ("Game of Thrones").

Critic Reviews for The Vault

All Critics (21) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (12) | Rotten (9)

The scene, the setting and the characters are all familiar, but "The Vault" moves nimbly and efficiently through the motions. Consider this bank job a score.

Liam Cunningham and Freddie Highmore lead the sparkling cast of thieves just crazy enough to try to claim treasure buried deep under the Bank of Spain.

Crackerjack direction and the performances are really fun.

Peter Rainer
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
A caper of this type needs tense set pieces, surprising twists, idiosyncratic characters or charismatic stars - ideally, all the above - to distinguish itself, and this one falls short in all those departments.

Dennis Harvey
Variety
The film misses the opportunity for a suspenseful interweaving of sports spectatorship and its characters' high-stakes gambits.

Slant Magazine
Nice editing mixes the hysteria of World Cup finals with sweaty vault raiding in this safe and sane procedural.

Ron Wilkinson
It's Just Movies
Requiring substantial forgiveness of its numerous logical gaps, this slick yet derivative British heist thriller never manages to raise the emotional stakes.

Cinemalogue
It's off-the-charts ridiculous and contrived, but if you can forgive that while enjoying the performances and the craft of the filmmaking, you'll have a good time.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
The Vault is a film that has a pretty neat idea at its center, but never quite figures out how to make it into an exciting movie.

This spirited, fleet-footed heist tale feels like a lower-rent Mission: Impossible or Ocean's movie, but its intriguing puzzle and likable characters make it a pleasant distraction.

If you like heist movies, you should take a look at this British-Spanish coproduction with Freddie Highmore, Sam Riley and Famke Jenssen.

James Verniere
Boston Herald
Director Jaume Balagueró (Rec) mounts a handsome, intense thriller that falls flat only when it starts to take itself too seriously.
