    His '12 Years a Slave' follow up is a heist film ala Set It Off. This might be the superior Lady heist film of the year. Looks intense. Starring Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Cynthia Erivo, Elizabeth Debick, Colin Farrell & Liam Neeson. Score provided by Hans Zimmer, Duuuurrrrrrr

    Damn. Have to admit I like the look of this.
    Love me some Viola Davis -- trailer makes her seem to be the heart of the film.

    I love Heist films. I hope they are making a comeback. This looks good.

    Anyone else when they hear or see the name Steve McQueen automatically think the actor (Wanted Dead or Alive/Bullitt) not the director?

    Damn. I always think Lightning McQueen. Father of 2. 3 in November. But still.

    I find Viola Davis unwatchable.

    I know exactly how she’s going to act in this.

    I'm intrigued but that "Because no one else believes we have the BALLZ to pull this off" line is cringe-worthy. But McQueen has put out some real quality in the past, so I'll give this a shot.

    Pro tip: don't watch this movie or trailers for this movie. I think she will be prominently featured.

    Personally, I'm looking forward to this one, just based on the cast and director.

    Lol. Already saw the preview. It looks ok. I did like 12 Years a Slave.

    Just pointing out Viola Davis can basically only play one character.

    I miss movies like this, just saying:

    This was your what moment. Now I'm going to bed.

    Did anyone that saw this think it was a let down? Aside from the gratuitous boob shot, what a waste of time.

    Whoever made those trailers should get a raise. There was one part in the trailer when the bald chick looked like she was running from something, but in the movie she was running to a bus. It was then I knew I had been duped.

    The movie wasn't that bad, but I was sold a bill of goods.

    It wasn't that the acting wasn't good. The acting itself was pretty good I thought. It just really DRAAAAAGGGGGED through the middle and the ending felt so rushed. I'm glad I waited for Redbox, but I should've waited for Netflix.
