Indeed sisters Leah and Vee Dillon (Francesca Eastwood, Taryn Manning), with the help of their brother Michael (Scott Haze) and two male accomplices (Keith Loneker, Michael Milford), are about to rob the bank. As he emerges into the atrium, Andrew Shulkind’s circling camera picks out two women acting suspiciously. With the credits over, we see the pristine bank exterior, and assistant bank manager Ed Maas (James Franco) inside, making himself a drink in the staff kitchen. All this unfolds to the ironically calming tune of Tommy James and the Shondell’s 1968 classic Crimson and Clover.
The credits then play over a beautifully edited montage of overlapping images: headlines about the Centurion Trust Bank siege, blueprints (2D and 3D) of the bank’s interior, and impressionistic close-up shots of the horrific situation inside, as injured people with money bags over their heads are dragged into the vault and set alight with petrol, turning the whole building into an inferno. Review: The Vault opens with the sound of a distorted male voice reporting a robbery in progress and a hostage situation.
