Fun fact, someone robbed our local bank in my hometown after they called in a bomb threat to the local police station. Only station in the area, they evacuated the entire area including dispatch then the guy walked in to the bank got all the cash out of the drawers and left.
well damn...
One of the local banks in my town (actually my bank at the time) was robbed by someone who drove a car through the glass front into the ATM, I was in town at the time I didn’t see it happen but saw the mess. People did get hurt but fortunately, none were life-threatening injuries. I was very glad that I didn’t need to be in there at that time, I’ve been locked in that bank while they were refiling the ATM before, which I thought was odd.
The UK has had a few tiger kidnappings. Family members of bank employees are kidnapped, coercing the employees to rob the bank. The criminals didn't need to enter the bank and they got away with about £25 million
I have a relative that was the teller in a bank robbery, and got a frag grenade with the pin pulled placed into her hands as a hostage.
After it all went down they ironically sent her to prison, because the bomb squad went to detonate the grenade but it turned out it was fake, and the guy that robbed them was an Army recruiter that'd been trying over and over to get her son to enlist.
So with no evidence, just the fact it was a dummy grenade and she knew the suspect got her sentenced to over a year in prison as an accomplice and branded for life as a convicted felon.
Who knows, it's entirely possible she was in on it. But it seems harsh and a little wrong to have no evidence yet send someone to prison for years and brand them for life just because she'd talked to the guy a few times, and he couldn't or wouldn't use a real grenade with her being like most people and unable to tell the difference. He got away with the money and it was never found, so they probably just wanted a win and layed it on her or threatened her with lengthy imprisonment until she took a plea bargain or something.
Which would even make sense considering it was when that was slightly more common and easier to do, combined with her being susceptible at the time from years of constant abuse and getting taken advantage of; then the fact she only got a little over a year with what easily should've amounted to bank robbery, armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, felonious grand theft and larceny, false imprisonment, criminal use of an explosive, etc. It seems even more likely she just took a deal to avoid a worse sentence.
She's never really brought it up so I'm not sure what all went down. I've tried looking it up but could never find anything, however multiple family members have referenced it at different times so it definitely happened.
Anyways, that's my personal connection to a bank robbery story.
Did this happen in some Canadian town? Cause I remember hearing a story about something like this in a Canadian town.
When Affleck tells Renner that "they gotta do something to some people" but can't go into details although he needs his help and Renner just asks "whose car are we taking?" Is such a ride or die scene
I grew up in southie aka south Boston and that’s so realistic and the way Renner didn’t wanna stop the life I’ve seen it where we all get older n move away there’s that one dude who just can’t give up the life it’s so common maybe not that much these days but back then yea
@Ian Ray, "There goes college soccer."
Affleck was decent in The Accountant and would be worthy of a Beers and Breakdown episode.
That movie is one of my faves, just enough cool guy, just enough story (it wasn’t John whick, but was arguably more realistic)
I love, "The Accountant." The problem with reviewing that movie is that much of the movie's premise is based on Autistic Spectrum developmental disorder, where it is portrayed as a superpower, rather than the disability it is most of the time. I could be wrong, but I don't believe that any of the FNG Academy guys have experience and/or knowledge of Autism. Plus, "Aspergers," no longer exists as a sub-category; instead the field (professionals who work with people/children with Autism) went with a Spectrum, dimensional approach (which makes sense), rather than a discrete diagnosis ie Yes or No, with no other details. There are potentially many elements to Autism.
And I only know enough to recognize some of the signs so I can refer ("referred" as I am now retired) for an Assessment by someone who is an expert with this disability. It can be so complex that you need high-level professionals where this is all they do.

@@shannonmcstormy5021 the crew probably doesn't have much experience combating Earth invading aliens either, but that didn't keep them from reviewing Battle: Los Angeles. Instead of focusing on your perceived limitations of their experiences and abilities, how about lighten up and recognize we're talking about a movie, not a documentary.
Great suggestion. One of my favorite movies with Bernthal and him together and the directing was on point.
@@rogerwood5228 Exactly Roger 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for leaving the “bloopers” intact, they’re always enjoyable
This one's always a blast to watch as a New England native and most of my family being from Charlestown and Boston at large. HEAT, for the modern era.
The real brilliance to the barber shop hair being spread through out the vehicle, is that any hair DNA would practically be dismissed in court because theres so many different hair DNAs in the vehicle, that any decent defense attorney could have that thrown out for being way to broad and inconclusive.
Agreed
Same reason they don't have to worry to much at the bank if they case the place, your dna has a right to be there
The only issue with Abel's bank heist scheme is that local cops don't investigate bank robberies. Bank money is federally insured and investigated by the F.B.I.
This has to be my favorite ep of this series. Being there for ur brothers whether blood or chosen..one of the best things to ever experience..
Popo medic did a video on a group of green berets that took a bank in one of the most efficient robberies in history which became their demise as a veteran cop knew the scope was too perfect and began looking into military SF tactics, ended up getting en
Rangers actually
Abel getting eye blasted by his drink was comedy! 😂 Another banger Gentleman! 🤘🏼🇺🇸
Shocked you didn't show the best scene of the whole movie (before they went gangster in that dudes apartment). "I need your help. I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna hurt some people." "...Whose car are we gonna take?"
Favorite scene!
Tactical Toolbox "party people"
“So funny story”… man you somehow have stories to relate to every movie you “breakdown” 🤔
You’re always a badass in them too 😂
It’s been a wild ride bro
I wanna here more about Buck’s childhood!!! My mom would flip if I ventured out of her line of sight from the living room couch while she watched Days of Our Lives
Listen to his podcast with Andy on Cleared Hot, good episode.
@@ZacharyCox Or buy his book! He goes into it a lot in that, he had a pretty bad childhood, and has had a pretty incredible journey for somebody who didn't have much support or resources growing up!
Pls react to 4 brothers next
Love the channel. Would love to hear a breakdown of the tactics for "Inside Man" with Clive Owen's and Denzel Washington.
I’d love to see y’all do Two Guns with Mark Walburg and Denzel Washington. Super entertaining and pretty ridiculous. Lol keep it up guys, love the series! Looking forward to those boots you’re working on!
You should checkout HEAT as well. Good 90’s crime movie.
30:33 The hair idea was a nice idea, but it would end up hurting them more than helping. It’s true that it creates a large pool of suspects, however, unless they sourced hair from multiple barbershops in a LARGE radius (ideally from all over the country or world), even a rookie Detective would be able to narrow down where the suspect’s potential BoO or dwellings could be.
Humans being creatures of habit, generally utilize the same barber or salon (especially women). All the Detective would need to do is question the owners of the hair and cross-match the responses, then they’d be able to ID what barbershop or salon the hair was sourced from.
And I wouldn't pick those hair on the floor while everyone still in there. It would attract attention.
Instead I would look for them in the barber shop's garbage bins.
Ben Afleck was a good Batman, also Argo and The Accountant were great
Definitely need to watch " Escape from Tarkov: Raid" mini series. It's got some insane CQB scenes.
Or Ready or Not
Absolutely! Some of the best gunfights I've ever seen in any film
Funny video per usual. But, you guys need to watch more heist movies like Heat. First, most robbers have done time, and they've learned from their mistakes and have acquired institutional knowledge from other robbers or gangsters. Second, you need to watch some more true crime TV, because you'd know most bank robbers get less than 10,000. They need to get in and out. Going after the "vault" is usually a fools errand that takes too long. If they did the type of prep you're talking about, they'd be making minimum wage. lol. BTW, there was a marine who did over 100 robberies (Cain Vincent Dyer), and has youtube videos. Plus, a SEAL named Thomas Mixon. Third, it's all about reaction times in relation to the "bring the city." Yes, if you stay engaged with police, then that give the rest time to respond. But, many small to medium cities have smaller forces and no air support. A great movie about small town bank robberies....Hell or High Water.
IVE NEVER CLICKED FASTER. This is like in my top 10 movies.
The most serious bank robbery are the ones where a guy walks in walks to the register and gives a paper to the cashier that say give me the money and then walk out the bank the policy is for them to not react until u leave the scene
But you’ll still go to jail regardless
One of the most accurate Boston movies as far as the grimeyness of Charlie's town...although they eliminated the epic racism there but still captured the neighborhood excellently...btw Affleck has a better Boston accent in the town than Matt Damon did in the departed...I'm native Boston but being in broadcast I had to lose the the accent....but Ben rocked this role....love this movie 🎬
Bros if you love The Town, I would highly recommend Triple 9! One of the sickest breach and clear/shootouts in film, period!
And it has Ben's brother in it, too!
Love the channel guys, cheers from the 1-501st in Alaska 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Agreed. Great heist movie
Forgot about that one…. Don’t even remember it now. Guess I need to watch it again!
There are a few older films I'd like to see you guys react to. The Dogs of War, the Wild Geese, The Final Option, and a couple of old Korean War films, Pork Chop Hill and the The Bridges at Toko-Ri. I think it'd be interesting to hear your take of them.
I was born and raised in Charlestown and the area where the car switch is realistic because it happened in reality. That’s the exact place where the famous Brinx Robbery happened and the narrow streets (not meant for cars) combined with the bridge being their escape (once you’re over the bridge you have immediate access to 3 major highways.
Charlestown is a peninsula and there’s only 3 ways in & out and this took place before a helicopter could be deployed.
Get it gents!!!!
Also jack black lmao
A guy from my hometown set a sporting goods store on fire and then across town robbed a bank. Since we're a county seat, we have city, county, state and drug task force so there were more cops then he could get away from and got trapped since it's basically main street through town. Crazy shit.
You really need to review The Way of the Gun, underrated classic.
Easily goes up there as one of Ben Affleck’s greatest films of all time. I’m actually surprised you guys haven’t reviewed this already? Lol
Dude please read carefully... please review KILO TWO BRAVO... Sean Buck Rogers replied to me before and said "we did" but it was THE WRONG MOVIE! lol... the movie Sean Buck Rogers was talking about is BRAVO TWO ZERO. You guys reviewed the SAS old school movie.... the movie I am talking about is about British Soldiers in Afghanistan, walking into a huge mine field. It's been regarded as one of the most realistic war movies.
The Accountant - also a good movie with Ben Affleck, which he has done since "The Town". Also with a brother theme! Review?
I 2nd the Accountant. I'd be interested in a breakdown of the tactics from that movie.
Agreed, been suggesting it for months. I would love to hear they're breakdown.
I watched like every single Episodes of Beers and Breakdown. I would say that in this one you are hammered the most. 🤪😂👍
😁😁
As a baby I was sat up into D8 Caterpillar Dozer still in a diaper,then later would ride in my dads lap on his old FarmAll tractor plowing our garden.he was a Operating Engineer and Master Mechanic for Local 926 out of Atlanta.he had me turning wrenches,welding,and learning all sorts of things by age 10...although I didn't become a heavy equipment operator,I did become an Electrician but non union...had our ups n downs but no better up bringing in Georgia than on a dirt road on a little farm,shooting guns,hunting,riding those red dirt roads,he still did best he could to raise me when he wouldnt working! Lost mom at 9yrs to cancer so I give him props for raising my hard headed Gen X ass!! Love the channel fellas,just found yall!! God bless n stay safe 'MERICA
Next to the bullet hitting someone else the dude you kneecapped probably ain’t gonna be walking properly ever again
The intro is from Tactical Toolbox. Awesome channel that RUclips is trying to get after
I wish you guys would show more of you reacting to the movie, even if the videos end up being much longer with all the anecdotes.
Buck clearly subscribes to the old adage that you can't be brilliant unless you're brilliantly prepared. The IRA actually had DNA protocols they employed in their war with England. In the book Fry the Brain they talk about it in pretty good detail. There's also the green book and others, but Fry the Brain hits a lot of different organizations tactics and techniques. Worth a read for anyone interested in sniping and gorilla tactics. It also hits on Israel tactics with Palestine, and German v. Russia in WWII, Iraq and Afghanistan insurgent tactics.
@14:35 Hearing Abel describe that reminded me that my Highschool's SRO was arrested for robbing a local bank.
It is fun, knowing what ya know to plan these things out eh boys lol? Had a few master plans laid out around some whiskey and my boys a time or two haha
My personal favorite Ben Affleck movie, him and Jeremy Renner both do a great job
What I think I enjoy most about beers and breakdowns, is that you don't actually watch much of the movie hahaha.
I wonder Paul would’ve said when he finds out you grew up to be a Green Beret…. I really really want to know what he woulda said if he knew you grew up to be a cop 😂. Cool story bro and great video as always
Hell Or High Water is a good heist flick.
Not a lot of tactics stuff, it is a "contemporary western" as some film nerds call it.
Beautiful flick
Love your show guys. Amazing breakdowns! I was watching an old Hong Kong action movie from back in the day and was wondering if you guys could do a breakdown on maybe a few them lol. Hard boiled, The killer, A better tomorrow 2. I'd love to see your reaction and breakdowns of those movies!
Gotta review Triple 9! Perfect for you guys, given your background. Excellent film.
they already have. funniest part for me was when they were roasting Anthony Mackie's character
Their have been situations where gang members will use skills learned in the military to train gang members on the street
literally just watched this last night and thought yall already did the town review yooo wtf god is real fr
For a bank robbery movie, watch ‘ meserine’. About legendary french bank robber Jacques meserine. He robbed one bank, the police responded, he literally went across the road and robbed another while the police were still at the first bank!
Respect for those who help serve even when under duress. I learned a lot! Off topic but can't wait to see you review the new season of Jack Ryan!
I liked this beers and breakdown but I wish you guys would've broke down the actual gunfight at the end. I get the video was long already so maybe that was why but it's just such a good gunfight from a film perspective. Thanks guys for the content
I’m with you. I really expected them to breakdown the last gunfight too.
Ohh man I always look forward to the beers and breakdowns. Love the great work you guys do . Keep it up much love and respect can’t wait for the next movie
"What's up party people!" ~Tactical Toolbox
Barber shop hair wouldn't do anything cause it is cut and has no bulbs on it. It would give the investigators another avenue to check camerasaround barber shops though.
Able scope punched himself with his beer 😆
Did you grow up in East Tennessee? Paul sounds like my Dad -meth when I was 12 4 days gave up a zip lock bag said, you 4 guy talk about what you’d each need in the bag to live for 3 days working together so at 12 I get a p85DC then they dropped us of in Appalachian mountains with a map & compass and said, “be here in 3 days bye” no trail bushwhacking! Thanks dad!
The guy from tactical toolbox says, "What's up party people"!!! Love that show...😀
Having worked at 3 different banks, it would be the easiest thing to rob….every single one uses dual control and you need two people to get in the vault. Manager and usually the lead teller have offsetting keys. Security footage is a cloud. Cover your face, have 3 dudes preventing the push of a button, 2 finding the 2 people with dual control. In and out in 3 minutes.
Aye thats tactical toolbox! Whats up party people! Love that guy
When he suggested they have the cops hold for 5 mins. All I could see is internalaffairs having a field day with why they swapped a shift same day of the bank robbery or held off response for 5- 15 mins etc
Guys I'm from Charlestown. Grew up in the bunker hill projects on Polk Street and on old Iron sides way in Newtown. I moved to Michigan to get out of that whole lifestyle but I grew up with all the real bank robbers And gangsters. Most of them are dead now a days or in jail. But it was crazy as fuck growing up and the move is close to the real thing but it was really good I thought. Charlestown townies for life. And it's not southie or Whitey Bulger, we did our own thing
You guys should break down the short film “SPC: OVERLORD”
Exactly how I make my old fashioned. Orange bitters are the key. I actually prefer the rye.
Hey boys you guys got pretty into the bank heist planning, the look in both your eyes had me dying 😂
lol
Yeah, loved all their ideas but I had one that might even be better for destroyingany possible DNA. You'd need a fairly large amount of bleach, ammonia, ect., say in a tank of some sort. Y
With this You'd want to tap into the local fire suppression system and blow it out through the sprinklers, saturating every square inch with said liquid 😉
I went to elementary school by a Bank of America in Los Angeles. Walking home from school there was a road crew digging up the street across from the bank. They were there for a few weeks then they vanished. They dug under the street into the vault and got away with everything.
Definitely should do more cop movies!!!!
I feel like paying off the cop one is a real stretch especially when buck says the amount of cops patrolling a given area plus obviously we don’t live in Mexico
My old man used to let me drive in the country roads of Western Australia, dirt gravel at 100km while he drank beers for about 30kms home, in a VL Commodore, I was like 10. Fukn awesome.
One of the AC techs I work with he grew up in Charlestown and used to pal around with some of the truck robber crew dudes. One time 2 crews got in a fight in the streets over who was gonna get to do the job while the feds watched from across the street
I love the first 15 minutes of this videos
Former Victorville / apple valley San Bernardino County resident here and correct there is nothing but trouble in the high desert 🏜️ 🌵 😊😊😅😢 but it is fun while young
Movies you should check out:
Miller's crossing
Sabotage
Dead Presidents
The thin red line
Cop shop
Miracle at Santa Ana
Not an action movie, but Gone Girl is a fantastic Ben Affleck movie.
I'd highly recommend watching it.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I thought same about hair at first but it's cut hair with no follicle granted collecting hair would suck.
I lived in the Boston Metro rode the T a lot, S Boston, Charlestown, Cambridge. The standard was live in Charlestown go over the bridge to Cambridge robe a bank and back to Charlestown. Or stop by Triple O's for a beer
You guys should do Ambulance. With Jake Gyllenhall. Another one where former operators rob a bank and everything goes to shit. Good movie.
21 bridges would be a great one to review
"you mean that lizard guy?" bro i fuckin lost it good thing i finished my breakfast because that shit would be spit out 🤣
Fun fact. I knew one of the brinks mat bank robbers brothers in the uk. They spent two years working on it.
I missed the ruck trainer again Buck! Get some more of them thanks asap! Please!
Alright, Buck. Great movie choice. Now since you decided to do a heist movie that used tactics I'm gonna suggest that you do Den of Thieves. The Town had guys that were just career criminals. Den of Thieves used the idea of having Veterans heisting banks. Gonna wait to see if you guys do it.
They did Den Of Thieves already!
@@davidoconnor1773 I missed it, gotta go sort through the playlist.
Task & Purpose
If you look the part people dont ask questions. As a HVAC tech I have gotten into real sensitive areas to do repair work with no ID. Just a tool bag and a logo on my shirt.
I swear your conversations are the best... @26min
A real OG cop drama is Infernal Affairs - the original Hong Kong version. Yes, it's absolutely 100% worth watching even with subtitles. It spawned the American version - the Departed, but IMO there's a lot more depth to the original. After watching, check out some analysis so you can really appreciate the nuances.
Then react to the Departed.
only problem with the hair bags... DNA is taken from hair follicles.. so unless your barber is waxing your hair and dropping the entire strand with follicle attached... doesn't work. Looks good for cinema though
My dad got shot in the leg with a .38 and it nicked his femoral artery and if it wasn't for the helicopter and the kick ass Emt my dad wouldn't make it to the hospital. Sooo shooting the leg doesn't mean you can't die
Stay safe kids and DO NOT DIE YOURSELVES
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I kind of relate to you guys more when you're relaxing in your easy chairs.
Don't know if you've heard about it but there was an Army Ranger and Navy SEAL bank robbery before (separate occasions)
About the hair from the barbershop, at some point police would have figured out that all the suspects went to the same barbershop and they could watch the surveillance cameras to see every customer who went in that shop. The customers' DNA that's missing is the probable main suspect.
yeah, but they bought the swept up hair.....they weren't shown to be a customer themselves, so we are to assume they wouldn't find anything about them at that shop (which can be reasonably concluded, given the expert-level attention to detail & precautionary measures they took that we DID see: cleaning the bullets individually when loading & loading the firearms wearing gloves, "scrubbing down" the hair from their bodies w/surgical brushes, etc.)
I have a feeling the barbershop hair scene was a legit thing that people did . Being charlestown was a crime haven and they probably had real criminals/ex criminals advising
Just to give you guys a history lesson The movie is based on Anthony Shea and no name gang Who are very well trained from Boston with a very powerful connection
Sean, you sound like you grew up in the Antelope Valley lol. Love your channel brother!
My buddy knew the guy that played the driver in this movie. He was a local rapper from Boston.
Starting teaching my son to shoot when he was 5. He's 9 now and can shoot better than most adults I know
It's crazy how different every state/department is because I have been used when a SWAT unit should have been but they all had the day off (supposedly on call).
They might have covered in full video, but wanted to hear their reaction to the scene where the cop sees them switching cars and turns away. Apparently that is based on a real account from a bank robber interviewed during research into the film.
I cracked the hell up during that scene lol
Could you do Equilibrium next, as ridiculous and fantasy as it is, I'd love your take on the farcical gun-fu in the film
