There’s a reason professional thieves wear slacks and shiny shoes and whatnot: Their precision yields high asset gains, which allows for a cushy lifestyle that in no way draws the attention of the FBI, Scotland Yard, Interpol, or any authorities sniffing after such ambitious burglary jobs on behalf of the wealthy aggrieved. The Apple TV series 12 12 12 gives us a 30-second first look at why this particular career choice is so attractive to the pensive and exacting criminal element, as “disgraced FBI agent” Anthony Mackie lays down the ground rules for successful high-asset robberies to “career criminal” Jamie Dornan. Both, according to the series logline, will “play a zero-sum game of cat and mouse across Europe” that leads to a “daring, epic raid on a bank vault deep beneath the streets of Zurich.” Dornan, seen in a rumpled crewneck, proves a quick study. He’ll get those nice pants yet.
