You’ve probably seen movies like “The Vault” before, only set in another country, and featuring a lot less exposition. (Walter initially recovered this bounty from the bottom of a Spanish shipwreck, but his booty was soon taken by the Spanish authorities.) Most of the plot is strictly formulaic: Walter and his fellow crew members scheme over building plans and computer monitors, improvise and double-cross each other whenever appropriate, and are often chased by Gustavo ( Jose Coronado), an ill-tempered ex-military security officer.

“The Vault” is consequently a paint-by-numbers caper about a crew of hard-working amateur bank robbers, who, under the leadership of blue collar salvage expert Walter ( Liam Cunningham), chase after a chest of 17 th century gold coins.
BANK OF SPAIN VAULT HOW TO
The film from director Jaume Balagueró is not the first recent caper to feature the Bank of Spain-there’s also the ongoing Netflix series “Money Heist,” which debuted in 2017-and that’s sort of the problem: the makers of “The Vault” don’t seem to know how to show off the Bank of Spain, or any of their movie’s other potentially attractive features.

A good location isn’t worth much in the Spanish heist movie “ The Vault,” which is mostly set in or around Madrid’s historic Bank of Spain building.
