It's really laughable to see the 10 ratings that are clearly friends and family being asked to rate the movie. Not many average moviegoers talk about the director, by name, hitting it out of the park. This movie is bad guys, really bad. I'd say it was a "B" movie but I've seen some decent "B" movies so I'll say this is a "C" movie. Instead of being engulfed in the story and captivated, you find yourself shaking your head. Bad acting, WASTE of actual great acting talent and screenplay is high school play level. Vincent Pastore, Burt Young, Chaz Palminteri are all wasted in this movie. Chazz needed about 30 more min screen time and not the 5 he got. Vincent and Burt got about 10 seconds each. I don't normally hate on movies much but when it comes to mob movies, Do it right or please don't do it!!! People that are clamoring saying this is a mob movie done right, I hope you're on the payroll. The only and I mean only good part of this movie is the ending. 1) because that 20 second part was actually good and 2) this disaster was finally over, so there's that. Oceans 11 this is not. No real "heist" here with an elaborate plan. Just "hey the cops show up at this time so let's rob it before they get here". Talk about lazy writing. So much potential with this movie and all wasted and I'm really mad about it. The premise of the movie, if done right, could have been a blockbuster. Instead is was just a buster Save your time.

Based on a true story involving the mob set in RI going back to 1975, this movie is a mix of "A Bronx Tale", "Goodfellas", and "Heat" all blended together perfectly. Great acting by Theo Rossi, Chazz Palminteri, and Don Johnson. If you like mob movies, this is one you won't want to miss!

With a runtime of 1h 39min, VAULT sure is a long movie. The film is filled with really uninteresting main and sub characters, the writing oh so bla·sé, with Chazz Palminteri, Don Johnson, William Forsythe and The Sopranos gang giving just enough to get their paycheck and go. The production of this film is really horrible. The most disappointing item of all-Samira Wiley getting typecasted as just another crack *, with no redeeming quality to offer Vault at all. There was a lot of talent that could have been offered in this film-and all of it squandered by inexperienced writers, directors and producers.

Phoned in performances, a meandering plot, and screenwriting that will make you scratch your head in bewilderment, Vault has it all. Leaning heavily on classic mafia movie tropes as a crutch, Vault limps along throughout its 1 hour 40 minute runtime, somehow finding a way to make "the biggest heist in American history" a total snooze fest.

The underlying story is really great material to make an epic mafia movie. These guys botched it. The scriptwriting sucks. The direction is average at best. The acting, with the (expected) exceptions of Don Johnson and Chazz Parmenteri, is below average. Editing, sound mixing, makeup, and production design are also below average. For starters, at least some 20 minutes could be edited out, preventing some boredom and making for a much more exciting movie. Then there are all those small details that pull you away from suspension of disbelief: the terrible makeup to pretend hangovers and drug use actually makes actors look like quarterbacks with blackeye on; the over-the-top 70's fashion; the computer-printed signs on the supermarket window; the constant background music with a senseless baseline which doesn't match the mood of 90% of the scenes... it all comes through as somewhat amateurish. The last scene, though it is actually an expected plot turn, is actually very well directed. That's about it. In short, this is not a total waste of time, but a waste of a golden opportunity. I hope someone with talent can one day make a really great movie with this story.

Poor script, pacing, acting, just generally not a very good film. The only redeeming feature being the great soundtrack. I recommend that you watch it with your eyes closed.

My dad really wanted to see this, so we watched it together and words can't describe how bad this writing was. I found myself shaking my head most of the film instead of enjoying it. The worst use of Burt Young... like ever. Why even have him in the movie other than to say he was in the movie (for 6 seconds). Chazz is the man! I think he was more interested in being Raymond then being in this movie. For what little we saw of him, he's awesome. Rossi also isn't bad at all and a stand out among laughable acting. He needs to be in a real mob movie, not amateur hour. So much potential wasted and I'm super mad about it. Being from RI and hearing my dad tell stories, I was really excited to see this. Ugh, so sorry I wasted my time. Btw, my dad lived the news clips as it brought back memories for him but that was about it. He said a lot of this was " bad interpretation" rather than what REALLY happened. Can Scorsese plllleeeaasssseee redo this???

I really wonder why someone bothered to make a film based on this true story. Absolutely no redeeming value...
