Went into this film with no expectations really and even that 'standard' was lowered. There's little to it really it take me the concept of a popcorn flick to another level removing all substance from the film to just create an action spectacle. There's a few moments of brilliance and/or fun take for example the first action sequence and a lot of the planning however it's all been seen before in the likes of 'Heat' and 'Bad Boys II' so it's nothing original. Pushing out the runtime only increased my boredom with the film as there's little else they can do other than sequel bait and reveal a 'twist' which is unexpected yes but also irrelevant. Just a sub par release but if you have the time and nothing else to do then give it a viewing
One of the great role for Gerard, realistic without the dam heroics "fallen" stuff. The movie is like peter berg style with twist.
2/2 - cinematography 2/2- editing 2/2- directing 1/2- acting 0/2- writing Nothing new added to gritty crime drama genre, but it's a serviceable, entertaining diversion on a Friday night.
I like action movies, but they still need to have a good story, and this one delivered. My only criticism, which is a small one, was it just needed cutting because it was tad too long. There were some scenes which I feel didn't add anything to the storyline. It's not the usual heist movie, it's got a few twists and highly recommend you give it a whirl.
