Subpar Action Movie Riddled With Clichés
The only reason I gave this movie a chance is because I insist on seeing every movie with Bruce Willis. Love most of this work. But this is one he clearly did for the paycheck, because he put no effort into this role and had a total of maybe 10 minutes of screen time. Just a big name meant to pull in poor saps like me.

There is nothing original or inspiring about this C-movie action flick. Michael Chiklis plays a veteran bank robber who in the opening minutes of a "perfectly planned" heist gone wrong, gets knocked to the ground. When he awakens 10 minutes later (with no bruising to account for the head trauma), the loot is gone and his brother is dead. The rest of the movie is him trying to figure out how it all went wrong.

The dialogue is probably the worst thing about this movie. Wooden, unoriginal, poorly written, will make you laugh out loud at the "serious" parts. Second worst is Meadow Williams, whose utter lack of acting talent is exacerbated by the amount of botox in her forehead, the combination of which makes her utterly incapable of expressing any emotion convincingly whatsoever. The choice of Lydia Hull as the badass fixer-upper/cleaner was equally poor casting, though thankfully she's barely in the movie.

And then all the cliches. Guys with machine guns who couldn't hit the ground if they tried, shooting guns with one hand, walking toward the camera in sunglasses in slow motion with an explosion behind you, the "surprise" villain at the end monologuing and providing exposition for the viewers who fell asleep for the first 80 minutes. As for the "plot twist" reveal of the villain, it would have been surprising had I not been able to call it about 15 minutes into the movie.

This is a good movie to have on in the background while you're doing other things. If you lower your expectations to ground level, you will be barely disappointed.

Cliché-ridden nonsense
I've always wondered how it is that 'big-name' stars can get roped into films that are absolute trash. Or how such trash could actually get made. Who among the 5 film companies behind this mess could not have looked at it and said "This makes no sense. We can't do this, it's embarrassing." I guess not. All for the money. Well, I hope they lose a lot, and whoever wrote this, directed it, or whatever, loses their shirts and never gets to make another movie.

Cliched dialogue from start to finish, neither cops nor robbers that can hit a target right in front of them (the robbers had machine guns, for goodness sake, surely they could have hit someone - but no, just general incompetence all around), an ending or plot that makes no sense, a rat telescoped long before they were revealed - and none of this raised a red flag to anyone. Somebody should have pulled the plug on this before a single camera rolled.

So bad
Warning: Spoilers
Dear gods avoid this movie. Not even Willis cared enough to act. Other review is right about this being nothing new. Just a mindless action movie. Chiklis was good but everyone else was really bad. The actress was so terrible, my friends and I could not stop laughing every time she spoke. First thing I said when she first showed up was "she's the one who did it" and I was right. So glad I didn't pay to see this or I'd have been so much angrier.
