Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

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.

fmbr-1 This film kind of annoyed me. It starts out pretty much as your standard heist film and even spends a fair bit of time developing the relationship between the thieves that are all armoured car workers. The plan is that the cars fake being hijacked and Ty Hackett, the hero, is brought in because he is the best friend and has real financial problems - a worry for any armoured car company owner.Ty insists that no one should get hurt because he "can't go to jail" because he has to look after his little brother and when a homeless man gets murdered because he is a witness, Ty turns on his group and friends, despite the fact that he is now certain to go to jail.The ending is fairly predictable where somehow and for reasons that I find completely unbelievable, Ty is rewarded rather than prosecuted despite numerous crimes that he is guilty of.

juneebuggy You know this was actually pretty good, at least it started out strong anyways, it does start to unravel a bit after the actual heist takes place and I had a bit of a problem with Matt Dillon, who tries too hard to be Mr. cool but the rest of the extended cast was very good. I especially liked the storyline involving Columbus Short as 'Ty' and his brother -even if it wasn't all that original, it still had me interested and he did a great job.All in it's a pretty solid action movie about a group of armoured car guards who hatch a supposedly perfect plan to steal one of their own trucks containing millions of dollars. Of course the heist spirals out of control, tensions flare and blood is spilled.And while this tries to be another 'The Bank Job' or 'The Insider' (and fails) it's still a decent enough story with solid performances from (Jean Reno, Laurence Fishburne, Skeet Ulrich & Milo Ventimiglia) You could do much worse from an action movie. 10/5/14

winstontanious I don't normally post reviews, but after reading such negative reviews, I had to advocate for this film. I just got done watching it, and have to say it was different than what I was expecting--but in a good way. I found myself being initially furious with Hackett and interested on how it would play out. It was definitely suspenseful and had a lot of interesting twists that I was not expecting. It definitely is an unconventional heist film, but I definitely found myself concerned and rooting for the protagonist, Ty, as he tries to do the right thing. I would probably agree with those who did not like Ty, accusing him of being a traitor, had it not been for the fact that he did not become a traitor until AFTER Baines kills the hobo. It wasn't until HE violated the plan that Hackett was up to that point following, that Hackett wants out. The movie accurately conveyed that. It in the end was a great movie. I do, though, agree that there could have been better character development.
