Smothering silence. A close-up of a man’s face, sweat pouring down its craggy exterior. He reaches out, another man hands him a tool. Zoom out. We see a safe. The tool is being used to crack it open. Inside the safe hides a better life. Or at least that’s what these men have told themselves. They only need to push a little harder and retrieve it. If you’ve seen a heist picture, you know these beats well.
