Netflix has just added a heist action thriller with a great cast

The film has been compared to The Italian Job and Ocean's Eleven.

Directed by acclaimed Spanish genre filmmaker Jaume Balagueró (the Rec films, Sleep Tight), The Vault revolves around a young engineer named Thom (Freddie Highmore, The Good Doctor) who is recruited by Walter (Liam Cunningham, Hunger), the owner of a salvaging company, to take part in a heist.

The goal: to steal a legendary lost treasure recovered by Walter but then seized by the Spanish government.

With the treasure being kept in a mysterious, impenetrable fortress hidden under The Bank of Spain, Walter and his team - consisting of members of all different skillsets - decide the best time to pull off the job will be when the whole country is distracted by Spain's World Cup Final.

Alongside Cunningham and Highmore, the cast of the heist flick also includes Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey (Guy Ritchie's King Arthur), Famke Janssen (X-Men), Luis Tosar (Cell 211) and Sam Riley (Free Fire).

Drawing comparisons to The Italian Job and Ocean's Eleven, The Vault received mixed to decent reviews from critics for the most part.

The general consensus was that while the movie tells a familiar story, its direction and cast make it a fun watch.

You can read a sample of the positive reviews the film earned right here:

Chicago Sun-Times: "Liam Cunningham and Freddie Highmore lead the sparkling cast of thieves just crazy enough to try to claim treasure buried deep under the Bank of Spain."

Detroit News: "The scene, the setting and the characters are all familiar, but The Vault moves nimbly and efficiently through the motions. Consider this bank job a score."

FilmWeek: "Crackerjack direction and the performances are really fun."

The Upcoming: "Well crafted and smartly paced, The Vault is a glossy slice of high-octane fun."

The Vault is streaming on Netflix in the UK and Ireland right now.
