Hugely funny,I hardly stopped laughing throughout.Wonderful comic performance from Sean Williamson as the copper in charge at a bank siege who couldn't find his own backside with a telescope and a sniffer dog. Brilliantly satirises stereotypical Cockerney Geezers ..Luvv'ly Jubbly,Leave It Aht....Yer'avin a tin barrfff incha...etc etc...I absolutely howled at their sharp - witted London Patois...and then I realised it was meant to be serious!No,honestly,the makers of "Daylight Robbery" intended it to be edgy,urban and gritty.So you could believe,if you were very,very silly,that this is what it's really like to rob a bank. First you put on stocking masks that actually show your every feature very clearly,then you employ complete morons who can't stop talking all the time.Then you fix an alibi that only holds water if nobody has ever seen "The Italian Job". And a method of retrieving the money that went out with "The Great Escape"which,incidentally,is all you'd be dreaming of for the next thirty years or so if you carried on like that. So,hardly "Rififi" then,and threatening to kill an SO.19 officer would merely have caused you to have been blown the f*** away whilst trying to escape. Get real,guys. Frankly I have yet to see a British caper movie that is remotely convincing because the bad guys never seem bad enough or the cops ruthless enough. We always want to give our villains dear old mums or heavily pregnant wives/girlfriends as if that abates their villainy somehow. And our coppers,who,strangely like the popular belief,never seem to have mums at all,dear and old or otherwise.And their wives,if seen,are thin lipped beehived brow - beaten creatures for ever preparing their husbands dinner then throwing it in the bin because he's going to be late home again. Till that day when British cinema comes up with something like the real McCoy(and I shan't hold my breath) it inflicts the likes of "Daylight Robbery" on us with depressing regularity. Unless one of your loved ones is in it I should give it a miss.

The joys of this caper/heist film are good pacing and top order performances from the ever reliable Geoff Bell and the under used Johnny Harris 2 wonderful solid gold British character actors, Bell exudes a crumpled John Wayne aura and Johnny Harris provides another solid, totally naturalistic performance amid all sorts of dramatic scenery chewing (See him in "London To Brighton" for a completely different and funny but scary role.)I thoroughly enjoyed it apart from the rather tacked-on postscript..............and what is really refreshing is that there is no clichéd Hero or Anti Hero...so no stars and no tacked-on romance...just a tight caper/crime thriller! 8/10

Expected much more from the movie after the looking at the plot. Daylight Robbery is an epitome of a mediocre movie....The movie is watchable but do not expect anything from it.. Maybe the movie lacks flare and punch but on the whole it ain't as bad as others seem to have commented...it has a pretty good ending compared with the style the movie goes in. Too many unanswered questions arise as one is watching the movie.. The cast ain't a solid one, with no existence of a main role as such. With too many flaws in the planning and execution of the storyline , i highly doubt this movie will even make a decent run in the theaters.. So, finally think twice before buying this movie or else your expression would be like " hey, have i seen this one before"..Cheers lads.. Brit movies will always rock irrespective!!!! Therefore this movie gets a average but merciful 5.5-6 out of 10...

A most enjoyable film, with lots of action, moments of suspense interspersed with dry humour.Captivating stunts, great sound track and fast paced editing complete the effects.As the plot develops, the tension mounts and during the initial stages of the robbery, my pulse was really racing.The characters are believable and some actually likable, even generating sympathy as the robbery begins to go wrong.Overall, an excellent film that is highly recommended! Congratulations to Paris Leonti for squeezing so much entertainment from a low budget.
