OK, so the story is interesting, absolutely not obvious. The characters are played way better, more realistic, than in most hollywood movies. It's a little bit slow, but trust me, it's worth waiting. Just absorb the atmosphere, it will pay off. And guys, everyone who rated 2 to 4 stars- come on, we know you only need stars in the cast.

My husband and I happened to really like this movie. This is filmed in Canada. I'm assuming near Toronto as both Stanton and Hindle are from Toronto. This is not an action movie. It's intense drama. Starts off slowly but like most good movies, it builds up to a climax. As a first time major role for the main character, he was amazing! This is the type of movie we enjoy...no loud noises, no car races, no loud music, just a bit of violence, lots of tension. All of the actors were excellent. The story was very good, with twists. I had tears at the end. We were emotionally invested. I don't understand the low ratings!

Set in a lawless, nameless county, Robbery follows Richie, a down-on-his-luck gambling addict who wants to escape his past. When his career criminal father, Frank, receives a dementia diagnosis, Richie realizes that in order to pay off his debts, he must exploit Frank's illegal expertise while he is still able to. Corey Stanton is the auteur of this movie, which moves back and forth through the lives of its characters. Art Hindle, who was Chris Hayden in Black Christmas and Ted in the Porky's movies, plays the elder man who is slowly losing everything, Frank. Jennifer Dale is great as the evil casino owner who decides to call in her debts, setting the heist in motion. I enjoyed this movie way more than I thought I was going to. I'm looking forward to seeing what Stanton does next.

Richie (Jeremy Ferdman) works in a garage, cares for his father Frank (Art Hindle) who has dementia and robs homes to pay for his gambling debt. He is not particularly good at any of this. He meets Winona (Sera-Lys McArthur) at Gamblers Anonymous. Then at about an hour into this slow-moving crime drama, we get a twist and a change of direction. This wasn't bad, just boring. Richie, our protagonist, is a pathetic loser. This makes it difficult to enjoy the film. Guide:F-word. No sex or nudity.

I have sat through better school play productions. Acting is secondary school drama group.

What else can I say? This movie starts so-so, then goes and make some promises.... which it can't keep, because 33% of its running time is mired in sloppy screenwriting, blatantly visible in the childish antics that start pretty early in the movie, and in the one-dimensional supporting character of the native-american girl. Bad acting doesn't help either. The father/son duo do a good job for the most part (though in the end there is some over-the-top performance by the kid), but the rest of the cast is kinda wooden. Still, it gets one thing straight in the end: the depiction of loss, and the renewal of hope. Anyway, I don't think this was a total waste of time...and I do think there is hope for the director/screenwriter, if next time he can seriously spend some quality time brushing up his script.

Robbery feels tempting, and in away it is a heist film, but more of the human level, life and death, and that everything expires one day ...death. its a film without extravagance, the story lacks a lot of substance, the dementia bait doesnt impress me, nor do the overall acting. its one of the films that is filmed so close up in the actors face, so youre fooled to believe. the setup design and locations are very abandoned factory like. its not an exciting robbery film, so make a pass on this if your in for the action.

TORONTO AFTER DARK 2018 While the title may make this sound like a simple heist film, Robbery is much more than that, moving back and forth from a crime film to family drama with some nice twists in between. We meet Richie (Jeremy Ferdman), a part-time thief who finds himself in debt with a very ruthless casino owner (a scene-chewing Jennifer Dale). Needing cash, and help as a thief because he really isn't very good at it, Richie enlists his dad Frank (Art Hindle) to help him out. However, the fact that Frank has dementia almost negates his knowledge of being a thief, he was one back in another lifetime, but it allows for a great storyline to unfold in interesting directions. Richie meets a woman named Winona while trying to get help for his gambling addiction, which turns out to be loads of fun and not nearly the clichéd native woman with a gambling issue inserted into the story that it seems. The story takes a lot of different turns, but the gambling, Frank's illness, never seem to be a gimmick but instead important parts of the story that needs to be discussed. Written and directed by Corey Stanton, his debut film, the film moves at a solid pace, building story and tension well, giving us some wonderful moments to digest while trying to keep things in perspective in terms of just who the good and bad guys are. The idea of Frank's seemingly five minutes of clarity from his dementia to help with the thefts is done flawlessly and doesn't come across as a cheap parlor trick. The performances by everyone are solid, especially Hindle and Ferdman, who are really quite the combo as father and son. Ferdman plays off of Hindle perfectly while Hindle is very believable as a man who is both sympathetic in his medical plight as he is questionable in his morals concerning crime and his son. Sera-Lys McArthur adds some extra spice more than a simple love interest and Jennifer Dale is spot on as the evil and unflinching casino owner that haunts Richie and his future. There is some great dark humor and wonderful tension sprinkled throughout this film and only in certain moments does it lag a bit, a few uneven plot points that the story could have done without. However, these moments are few and far between as Stanton's script is written in a way that doesn't allow too much time to be taken on any one moment, moving the story ahead while throwing some interesting wrinkles in to keep the viewer off guard. A wonderful tale of family, addiction, crime and deceit, Robbery was a great film that will keep viewers interested right to the very end
