Start putting your evil genius to work people! THE TOWN opens September 17th, 2010.
Synopsis: Doug MacRay is an unrepentant criminal, the de facto leader of a group of ruthless bank robbers who pride themselves in stealing what they want and getting out clean. With no real attachments, Doug never has to fear losing anyone close to him. But that all changed on the gang’s latest job, when they briefly took a hostage–bank manager, Claire Keesey. Though they let her go unharmed, Claire is nervously aware that the robbers know her name and where she lives. But she lets her guard down when she meets an unassuming and rather charming man named Doug not realizing that he is the same man who only days earlier had terrorized her. The instant attraction between them gradually turns into a passionate romance that threatens to take them both down a dangerous, and potentially deadly, path.
I would do it like they did in “The itailian Job” from underwater. That is such a fun movie, as for mask, I;m artistic I think I would make my own that way no one could trace them to where they are made
I would do it just like the opening of “The Dark Knight” having me and my men dress as the Joker Gang. Now you might be wondering would I have them take each other out thinking they’ll get a bigger share of the take but in reality I would get the full share, well we’ll have to wait and see… ;)
I’d be the “inside man” & won’t even need a mask. lol!
I’ve got to agree with Em on this one – I’d use the Inside Man strategy all the way. Unlike Em, I would use a mask – The King, from Burger King. Maybe I’d even bring some Croissan’Wiches and do a little flourish as I handed them out to my hostages.
I would use prosthetic masks that make us look like famous people who are deceased. Maybe Elvis. We would use them as a distraction and as a disguise.
I would totally take the girly Sugar & Spice approach.
I’d do it the old fashioned way, like in Public Enemies. All ballsy and bombastic. It’s all about confidence and style. (Sidenote: I didn’t like the movie).
My ideal mask would most likely be the decorated potato bag from The Orphanage. Simple, terrifying, and unconventional. (Second place: Nicole Kidman’s nose from The Hours)
I would put on a suit and tie, go in cook the books, divert tne money, then ask for a bailout. I would wear an Alan Greenspan mask.
For a change I will wear mask with a celebrity face like Angelina Jolie and the others with more sexier faces and bodies
i would follow the way they did it in the Atm Solutions heist.
But we would all were various Scream Masks to match our personality.(Goofy one would ware the one with the tounge out, serious one would ware the one one with a straight face, ect)
inside man……no mask needed
Quick Change had the best idea. Go out with the hostages and the money on you. Wear a scream mask. Common and shows no part of your face including your eyes.
Marry the president of the bank. Take his key to the vault. Go in with guns blazing at the ceiling to cause confusion. Mask would be clowns!!!
I would case the joint in order to get my timing down right and spray the security cameras with black spray as I entered the building. I would wear a scary Halloween mask such as a zombie or vampire and frighten them into giving me the money. I really really want to see this movie since it seems to have everything –action, romance, drama, etc.
See I feel the whole robbing banks things is about confidence and knowledge. For me I love the movie Heat. I would have a group of guys that I knew could be trusted and have no outsiders help. Each had their own expertise. As far as masks eff em!!! If you do it right and cut the security feed it doesn’t matter plus they get in the way. (Have you ever wore a comfortable mask?) Make sure it is a huge score then go to a non extradition country and I’d be set. Oh and don’t forget: don’t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner. (love that line)
Realistically, Inside Man-esque heist since no mask is needed and mix in a little bit of The Italian Job madness.
Though if it was possible I would just do an “Inception” and plant an idea into one of the banker’s mind to give me all the money.
I would create a similar setting to the Almost Perfect Bank robbery with a cop outfit & a bank teller. It’s all about romance & greed. I’d love to see this movie to watch it go down.
Tell us how you would pull off the perfect robbery:
I’d wear an entire outfit with makeup (disguise) in daylight, barely anyone around…singing telegram type deal (mime), gloves. No traces left behind. I’d know the person’s schedule.
What mask would you wear?
If I wore a mask, it would be a character or all black hoodie mask
Would you be Presidents like in POINT BREAK, or what looks like the band SLIPKNOT in the trailer for THE TOWN? the band!!
I would honestly rob a bank wearing a batman costume. Something oldschool though, none of this new stuff. I would also pull something off like in batman, how the joker just kinda betrays everyone and everyone who robs the place ends up dead. I thought that was a really neat idea. Something different.
the nun costume and mask is my halloween cotume this year.. it is definaly the costume to use during a bank robbery…
