This will be a super short review...

This post was supposed to come out the same day I saw Ant-Man which was on the 15th of July but unfortunately for this blog I had to catch a flight early the next day for a 10 day trip and was busy making sure that night that I had everything ready for the trip. Once the trip was over I got caught up in some work and didn't have the time and wasn't in the right frame of mind.

So a movie with heist in the title after the word American. What could this be about? 

Naturally, if you're familiar with the word heist and when it's used in movies, you know there's a bank involved. The American in the title on the other hand I'm not so sure about. Maybe because it happens in America? Or maybe the reason or logic behind the heist is an American one? Does it matter? No.
