’12 12 12′ Review: Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan’s Ticking-Clock Heist Thriller Runs on Broken Time
An FBI agent out for revenge. A thief planning one last score. You know the story, but in Dudi Appleton and Jim Keeble's convoluted Apple series, you can watch it unfold across three non-chronological timelines.
Apple TV’s eight-episode heist series 12 12 12 stars Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan. Created by Jim Keeble and Dudi Appleton, the thriller follows disgraced FBI Agent Jack Strickland. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series uses three interlocking timelines to chronicle the planning, execution, and aftermath of a bank robbery in Zurich.
The A.V. Club explains that the title refers to a conceit where a high-asset robbery requires 12 months to plan, 12 hours to execute, and 12 days for law enforcement to catch the bandits. The series toggles between three specific timelines titled The Planning, The Heist, and The Takedown. TVLine notes the series is available this Friday.
