■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Can a crime be perfected through planning
Reason: The heist is built as a system of timed roles before human weakness enters it
Related Film: Rififi - Middle: Can collective crime survive private desire
Reason: Individual greed and emotional leakage corrupt the shared mechanism from within
Related Film: The Asphalt Jungle - Core: Can control defeat chance when the system depends on people
Reason: The planned structure collapses through contingency rather than direct opposition

■ Secondary Axes
