Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGerard Butler gained twenty-five pounds for his role, as recommended by director Christian Gudegast.
- GoofsHigh security facilities like the Federal Reserve would not allow a guest like Donnie (or any food deliveryman) to walk around unescorted. If an employee ordered food, they would most likely have to come down to the front desk and pick it up themselves. Either that or the deliveryman would be escorted by security the entire time they are in a secure area.

Ray Merrimen: I ain't cuffin' up

Featured review
The most macho thing I have ever seen
A bunch of professional thieves knock over a big city bank and butt heads with a not so professional bunch of police.
Now on paper there is a lot to not like about this. All the main characters look like human versions of He-man figures but with neck tattoos. Everything about them just screams ass-hole.
This is actually one of the films strong points. There are no good or bad guys in this film just seriously flawed people acting on some quite ambiguous motivations. I found this made the film more exciting because there is no chance of the "good guy" winning in the last moment.
There are lots of scenes that build on characters but ultimately feel like dead ends in retrospect but does get you invested.
The action is kept to the end and when things ignite it is very exhilarating and feels quite real.
Well shot, acted and produced. The actual heist when it pans out is not particularly clever.
If you are not a big fan of action movies then all the muscle bound guys fist-bumping each other and slapping butts might be a bit of a turn off for you.
