Criminal films have long attracted humanity, because most of us are law-abiding citizens who never break the lines of the law. The main characters of the films about bank robberies are criminals who for one reason or another have committed a crime. Probably, any viewer worries about robbers and rarely wants the police to catch them. If a gang of robbers are found, caught up and arrested, then it is rather disappointing, although emotions should be reversed. However, all this is quite logical, because all the same, we all realize that this is only a film with a fascinating plot and a wonderful play of actors.
Many ratings on different sites include films that are not dedicated to bank robbery, so it is important to determine the conditions under which a particular film falls into this category:
- In the center of the plot should be a bank robbery, not a train or casino, a museum or a jewelry store, namely one or several bank branches.
- The crime should be the central part of the plot, and not be just an episode of the movie.
- The best films about bank robberies are those that not only can be remembered or named, but also those that have a special artistic value.
