A plot to break into a Madrid bank and pilfer valuables – where have we seen this before? In essence, Vault is the movie version of Money Heist without the quality of a Money Heist. It tries too hard to be the European version of Oceans 11 but doesn’t even come close.
A group of treasure hunters are successful in finally locating long lost riches in the Spanish waters only to be taken by the Spanish govt, as per ruling from the courts. The leader of the “pirates” enlists a group of misfits, experts in their fields, and devise a plan to get their treasure back from the Spanish authorities.
The movie simplifies the steal that leaves the viewer with more questions than answers. An incredulous plot makes it hard to believe and movie feels like it wants to rush to the finish line.
