Rated R for language and violence
Starring: Liam Hemsworth, Michael Angarano, Dwayne Johnson
The Story:
Chris (Hemsworth) starts working as a security guard for the Empire State armored car company. Shortly after starting, he is involved in a robbery attempt. At that point, he mentions to his friend Eddie (Angarano) that the security is pretty lax and the millions they store in the vault would be easy pickings. Well, Eddie talks... wheels get set in motion, and suddenly the company is robbed. Detective Ransone (Johnson) begins investigating and all signs point to the robbery being an inside job.
Did I mention that this was a real story?
The actual Chris involved wrote the script and produced the film.
Guess where he got the money?
:)
You'll find out at the end that some of the money that went missing was never recovered.
Things that make you go...hmm...
Overall, not a bad film, though Hemsworth could use a shot of charisma. He's definitely not his brother, but come on, between this and Paranoia, I'm finding it hard to take him seriously as the star of a film.
Don't let the cover fool you, Emma Roberts is nothing more than a glorified cameo.
Even The Rock...sorry, Dwayne Johnson, only is in the film for less than half the runtime. His parts are well used to bridge the movie together.
But this is all Hemsworth, all the time.
As Heist Films go, it's okay. Considering they got away with it, to some extent, way to go guys.
Now streaming on Netflix as of this writing.
Final Grade: C+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Not a purchase, but I could watch it again if it was on and I couldn't find the remote. ;)
