Name that film: A cash heist in a casino where the Gold/money/safe is within a aquarium on full view in teh casino

[DontNeedAnything]

It is bugging me.

It is the plot that came to mind when trying to think of Oceans 12...but DP thinks it isn't Oceans 12.

Please put me out of my misery and identify the film.

oceans 13

yes its oceans 13

Ive not seen any 'oceans' films but I know this one....

Ah.. now DH (film buff in style of Jonathan Ross) is saying Oceans 13.

No it is not Oceans 13..as we have just sat and watched that.

Dp thinks may have been one of the Hustle episodes now.

I can picture i. It is the vault of Vegas' biggest payout slot IIRC...

Arguments here now as DH says its an Oceans film, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen aany of the oceans films, yet I know the plot. Argh.

Yes your DP is right - it's a plot from Hustle.

It is defincately not Oceans 11. That is done in a "fake" vault which is video'd tot eh owner

Oceans 12 was a series of smaller thefts and cons to get back teh money although it could be one of the smaller ones; but doesn't look like it from Wikipedia

I finished watchig Ocenas 13 10 minutes ago so I know it is not that.

I think I am picturing it as Hustle though.

I can picture "minder" (sorry crap at names) in the boiler suit conning his way into teh back fo the vault as the maintenannnce guy. I just wasn't really convinced as Hustle was more about conning people out of cash than carrying outright thefts.

Wiki confirms that it is an episode from Series 4 of Hustle

Hustle makes sense. I saw all of them and none of the ocean movies. Yet i know this plot.

DontneedAnything - "minder" was in New Tricks wasn't he? not Hustle.

I'm not positive as I've never watched the former and missed the last (couple of?) series of Hustle!

Yeah...probably...I am crap at actors and actresses....

I think it was the last episode of Hustle...

Johnny Maranzano is a Mafia boss in Las Vegas who owns his own casino/hotel. His father had a touch of class but Johnny is just an animal. The only things he seems to care about is himself and money. He has no regard for his staff and constantly abuses them - verbally and sometimes physically as well. His casino has a fruit machine called Big Daddy that has a jackpot of $5 million and is in honour of his deceased father. The prize money sits behind a huge fishtank. This is because his father once bought him a fishtank as a child and told Johnny that the bubbles rising to the top of the tank represent Johnny's eventual rise to greatness. Johnny gets very angry if the bubbles in Big Daddy stop so he has cleaning firm come out to clean it every so often. He hates grifters and if his security catch a grifter in his casino then he has them brought up to the security office, held down on the desk, and he brings down a baseball bat on one of their hands to teach them a lesson. This is one of his milder punishments and he is not above killing anyone who crosses him.
