What happens

The Easy Way (French: Sans arme, ni haine, ni violence; lit. 'Without weapons, hatred or violence') is a 2008 French heist film directed by Jean-Paul Rouve, who also stars in the title role as the real life thief Albert Spaggiari, who organized a break-in into a Société Générale bank in Nice, France in 1976. The original French title refers to the note Albert Spaggiari left in the bank after completing the robbery. Part of the movie was shot in Portugal at the Hotel Palácio Estoril, a 5-star hotel where some scenes of the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service were also shot.
