The Robber isn't a bad film. But it isn't a great one either. It's a film about someone who runs and robs. You don't know much about him or why he does the things he does. You can infer that he gets a kick out of the adrenaline rush. But that's all. It's a film with a main character that you don't get to know. That's fair enough but it makes a poor film because you don't engage in his story. You don't empathise. You don't even dislike him. There's no emotion involved, just you sitting there wanting to see how the story ends. In my terms, that's not what cinema is about.
The photography is correct, nothing outstanding. To be honest the camera from his point of view doesn't really work too well (at least not for me).
The sound. I don't really understand why in every car there is music. Every single one of them. No matter what the music is or if it's well chosen, that's not a good use of sound. There are quiet moments.. but I think trying to convey feelings mainly through music only is just too easy. Particularly because you still don't know how he feels.
