Key Quote: “Because I knew there was so much more than just the bizarre heist. I wanted to know why, who were these people. And it was such a human journey that they were going on. There were so many characters. These two characters they played, they had a very dysfunctional love story, which was the catalyst for the heist … This is a character piece and a love story. So yes, it’s a true story, but it’s also meant to be seeing the other side and getting to know that they’re humans that are fucked up.” – Cox
