After checking in early for a flight to Germany in order to establish their alibi, the thieves quickly sneak out to the airport parking lot, pile into a van, and stealthily drive towards their target. Their plan to smash the van into the building and grab the cash before catching their flight goes suddenly awry, however, when a member of the gang is badly injured in the crash. With the clock counting down before their flight takes to the sky, the group is soon forced to alter their plan as police attempt to negotiate with the crew through the crumpled van. The negotiations are quickly staled when the robbers refuse to negotiate, leaving the police with no other choice than to hatch a plan to storm the bank. When the police do finally gain entry into the bank, the sight they find leaves even the most sharp-minded law enforcer hopelessly speechless. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

David Jenkins, Time Out
Daylight Robbery...the exact expression that you're likely to utter if you pay for a ticket to see this utter garbage.
-
Matthew Turner, ViewLondon
While nicely acted and never less than watchable, Daylight Robbery is ultimately disappointing thanks to unsympathetic characters, some dodgy direction and a stifling lack of tension.
-
Derek Malcolm, This is London
This small-budget heist movie, though hardly very original, is at least made with complete professionalism.
-
Josh Winning, Total Film
Tonally it stumbles between laddish laughs and straight thrills, with the result that Leonti doesn't quite get away with it.
-
Tim Evans, Sky Movies
Tonally askew, comedically misjudged and drearily thuggish, this can be filed with any number of post-Lock, Stock caper comedies where psychopaths are portrayed as lovable geezers.
