Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

supermaggie I try and not bash movies/shows just for having a lame plot, except when they are being extremely hyped - and unjustly so, but I feel I have to add my 5 (?) Cent whenever a show/movie is offensive or immoral, and this one is the latter. For no understandable reason Hackett is portrayed as the hero and being rewarded in the end, when all he does is getting about 6-7 people killed (or 5-6 killed and one nearly killed and probably handicapped for life) while it could have been only one dead (bad enough, but better than several more). No money and no wrongly understood sudden change of moral is worth these losses. First, he agreed to go along with it - very naively believing that no one will get hurt - which is always a possible outcome in things like these, and when it goes south, he is the one who makes it go to hell even more. It would still have been disloyal and somewhat questionable had he gone through with the theft and afterwards ratted out his fellow workers to the police. But endangering many people and getting Dobbs and Palmer and whoever dies in his bomb trap and Cochrone killed and Eckehart severely injured - that's the worst move he could do. Sure, he gets Eckehart into hospital, but I doubt he will fully recover from this severe injury he would not have gotten at all if it wasn't for Hackett - he must have known that this is the likely outcome, what was he thinking? One man coming and they all put down their weapons? Very egoistical! If this is how Hollywood perceives heroes, we are all doomed. If you writers cannot come up with better actions/characters/plots, then better not write anything at all. That's poisonous. Other than that the movie isn't good anyway, and that you cannot side with Hackett plus the interesting characters being killed off early, makes it even worse. A waste of great actors.

SnoopyStyle Ty Hackett (Columbus Short) is a returning Iraq war hero. He's the new guy in an armored truck company. The banks are after his family house. He's desperate. Then his coworker Mike Cochrane (Matt Dillon) tells him about a plan to steal $42 million. He refuses at first, but then child welfare comes by threatening to take his brother away.There are a lot of great solid actors in this movie. I wonder if all the top notch talent actually start stepping on each other. Nobody is really given enough screen time to separate themselves from the group. There is no sense that these are individual personalities.The heist is as unimpressive as it comes. It would be believable if this took place 30 years ago. But the trucks have no GPS, no cameras, and no computers. Basically they stash the money and pretend to be robbed. It's not a real plan. It's a movie excuse for a plan.This has the potential to be a great psychological action movie. But the weak plan keeps gnawing at me. It makes the whole situation very manufactured. All that director Nimród Antal is looking for is an excuse to get these great actors all together in abandoned industrial buildings.

mo24777 If you liked 'Training Day' you will love this movie. In the day and age when money conflicts with morality, a couple of money transporters decide they want to TAKE the take. The story brings elements from character abilities to bring a realistic sense of flowing action. I really enjoyed this film. Even though it might seem that the main characters actions are too ballsy, it raises the awareness of human morality and how certain external circumstances can have an affect on people. I might over exaggerate about how good the movie may be, but I was surprised, even though it started off with great actors 'Lawerence Fishburne' 'Matt Dillon' you don't always expect great actors to make great films which is what I thought at first when it started, but each cast member played a great designated role.

ajs-10 I remember this one being mentioned in dispatches when it came out, but that's about all I remember about it. Now, having seen it I find there's not a lot to add to that. It's a pretty forgettable run of the mill heist thriller with a surprisingly good cast considering how average it is. But more of my thoughts later, here's a brief summary first (summary haters please look after that big pile of cash while I write the next paragraph).Ty Hackett has recently graduated to be a security guard working for Eagle Security. They transport money in armoured trucks around the city. He is a decorated soldier having served in Iraq and has to look after his teenage brother, Jimmy, after both of their parents died. A group of his colleagues, led by Mike Cochrane, are planning to fake a heist and steal $42 million from two of their trucks. At first Ty is against the idea, but after a visit from Social Services about his brother, he changes his mind, on the condition that nobody is hurt. As they are hiding the money a homeless man is spotted spying on them and he is shot. This leaves Ty in a dilemma, should he just turn a blind eye, or should he stand by his principals? Well I guess that's enough to whet your appetite for now.I'll start with what I did like… well the music wasn't too bad and the cinematography was pretty good, and that's just about it. As I said, there is a pretty good cast which includes; Matt Dillon as Mike Cochrane, Jean Reno as Quinn, Laurence Fishburne as the trigger-happy Baines, Amaury Nolasco as Palmer, Fred Ward as the boss, Duncan Ashcroft, Milo Ventimiglia as Eckhart, Skeet Ulrich as the cop, Dodds and Columbus Short as Ty Hackett. None of which were really stretched in this pretty average caper.So in conclusion, it's a rather dull and slightly predictable heist movie with the twist being it's the guards committing the crime. There's very little here we haven't seen many times before. And so a very average film gets a very average score from me… Not recommended.My score: 4.9/10
