The bank robbery is described by multiple film reviewers as "one of the biggest financial crimes in history".[2][3] The film is slightly dramatized, and compares the hackers to the hackers in Ocean's Eleven.[2] The film mixes expert commentary with visualizations to explain the abstract and technical process of hacking to the viewer in simple terms.[1] One film reviewer described the interviewees as having unique and excited demeanors that make this film stand out from other documentaries.[3] The original bank robbery was a major cyber crime, and this film and its telling of it emphasize to the viewer the dangers of a digitally interconnected world.[2][3]
