    This film had some serious potential. We start out with a sound premise; Young guy fed up with the system and how he is getting sucked dry by it goes in to vent his spleen and gets caught up in something much larger than he could have anticipated. The storyline stays static all t...( read more)he way through and we are treated to stilted dialogue coupled with poor acting. The set up was good (albeit done in a million different ways before), the concept was good (seen it too though), but the execution was pure pabulum. I wish they could have really taken a bite here, but instead it falls into the realm of mediocrity within the first 15 minutes. Erika Christensen looks lovely, but if you are watching this for her...go buy a poster. Avoid this one. As hard as it tries...it tries too hard and comes up empty.

    about the only thing going for this movie is Erika Christensen, hot, sassy and keeps you in suspense on whether or not she is in on it or not. The movie starts off already going but not in a Quentin Tarantino kinda way but like 20 min into the movie and then does its best to catc...( read more)h you up in a back track way. Gavin Rossdale plays the bad guy bank robber almost as good as he plays a rockstar. I lost interest about an hour in a turned it off so maybe it got better, i'll never know.

    Didn't quite get some parts. The storyline kind of got off track here and there. If you are a banker, you would understand it the best though!!!

    A lot of people thought this movie sucked but I liked it. The story was cool and the acting was good. Also this movie was funny and the ending was really good. This movie was great and not a waste of time because this movie is pretty short. Worth watching atleast once.

    A rather entertaining new perspective for a bank heist movie. I am especially fond of the ending.
