There are times when, instead of following the film's narrative, you end up playing 'spot the mistake'.

...a fun, cat-and-mouse, crime film, based on the 1987 Opera House heist. Starring Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher, and Manoj Bajpayee, the film stood out as one of the most original voices...

There's so much confidence at display here, it's almost as though Pandey is challenging us to find flaws.

Enjoyable old-fashioned heist movie about early '80s con artists, with surprising plot twists and fine performances by Akshay Kumar and Anupam Kher.

"Special 26" is a well-made heist movie in which the second half really keeps you on the edge of your seat. The story is unpredictable and exciting. The movie only has one real major flaw which is a romance subplot that doesn't feel necessary. I feel this movie could have been perfect had this subplot been taken out or given much less screen time. The first act can be tough to get through because the most interesting aspect of the story is given less screen time for about an hour. However, once the movie shifts gears it is excellent. I found myself eagerly waiting to see what would happen next and was thoroughly entertained. This is a very fun movie that fans of the heist genre should definitely check out.
