James Franco plays Ed Mass, the assistant manager who for fear of people being hurt or killed in the ruckus he volunteers the information to stave off the police force in the short term. In fact there is just 70k in there, not enough for any of the crooks to split to meet their objectives. It would go perfectly to plan but for the fact the banks primary vault is not very full. The team is lead (and I use the term loosely) by Leah Dillion (Francesca Eastwood – Heroes Reborn) and they have a plan to rob the bank quickly and without hurting anyone. It’s fast paced from the beginning and its testament to the director that it doesn’t appear frantic and chaotic. They are working with a gang, each with their own reasons for needing to liberate the cold, hard cash from the bank’s vault. It’s a story of 2 estranged sisters forced to work together to rob a bank to pay their brother’s medical expenses. He is the leading name in a cast that had me scrambling for IMDB to see where everybody had appeared before, mostly I was unable to recognise any of their bodies of work but when you’re trying to immerse yourself in a horror that’s sometimes a great advantage. Whether he’s hitting a blunt ( This is the end) or sawing his arm off ( 127 Hours) I find him amazingly versatile and increasingly watchable. It stars James Franco who in my eyes can pretty much do no wrong on screen.
That being said, the screener for ‘ The Vault’ came across my desk this week. 9 out 10 horror movies I see are absolute drivel and I always get annoyed at myself for falling into the same trap of expectation and over excitement, only to find myself in a trap of total excrement. In a week when I ventured out to see Annabelle, I didn’t think I could possibly put myself through another ‘horror’ movie.
