'The Delinquents' Review — A Twisty Heist Movie Unlike Any You’ve Ever Seen

What makes a good heist movie? Is it the thrill of seeing someone achieve something that should be impossible? Perhaps it’s the satisfaction of a plan coming together almost perfectly? Or is it the catharsis of seeing an underdog take down an institution on behalf of a just cause? Even with some of the most unconventional heist movies that expand the preconceptions we may have of the genre, there is just something about seeing the established order of the world disrupted to bring into focus all that's wrong with it. Both cinematically and structurally, the heist film is a place where some of the boldest visions can end up living for a reason. Not all are great by any means, but there are so many that just feel alive in a way few other films do. However, you’d be hard-pressed to think of a heist film quite like writer-director Rodrigo Moreno’s The Delinquents. Even that description is only part of the equation.
