Six people are thrown together during an elaborate bank heist where any move can alter the outcome. Is it coincidence, or are they merely pawns in a much bigger game.

I haven't seen a flick this bad in quite awhile. For starters, like other illiterate shows, the dialogue has , at least , 100 vulgar, trashy, totally unnecessary 'words', mostly the 'f--k' word. The 'f--k' word used to have an 'impact' when used sparingly to give ooomph to an attitude. In this show the use of 'dirty' words, stupid dialogue is exploding all over the screen and , for me , nothing but irritating. I watched about 15 minutes of this awful fiasco but couldn't handle anymore. This is a lousy movie. Acting is poor. I'd have to force myself to watch this but someone would have to pay me. There's nothing about this flick worth diddly.

Einstein once said "God doesn't play dice", here God (Danny Glover ) plays chess with pure evil Lu (Vinnie Jones ) for the soul of a wayward priest (Sean Astin). Their chess board is projected into the real world as a neighborhood bank under siege. The chess pieces are projected into the real world as bank robbers (black) and bank customers (white). Pieces are moved and people perform actions. Pieces are captured and people die. Not a great movie but I'd give it a good C+. Lenses and sound are good, directing and cinematography are good. Dialogue and acting fair. I watched it, I liked it. I would have enjoyed it more if I had understood the purpose of the contest earlier.

You would think a movie with Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones would be worth a watch, right? WRONG! Not this flick! Wow, the dialogue was so bad, and not just badly written, but badly acted out too! Cringe- worthy! Every 3rd word is f***ing, and it grates on your nerves after about 10 minutes of it. The story is so discombobulated, it is so jumbled and contrived. It is like they tried way to hard to be a hipper version of a Tarantino flick. Way Way WAY too hard! I can't believe how many quality actors are in this movie, they should be ashamed! I couldn't even get to the finish, it was THAT BAD! What a waste of money! What a mess!!

This rubbish is so bad that I was not going to write a review, as I did not think I would be able to put how bad it is into words.However, I felt that it was important to warm my fellow humans, and so decided to try.If I said that a bunch of schoolchildren could do better, I would be insulting all schoolchildren everywhere.If you compared this rubbish to the first day of an acting school course, you would expect that the lecturer would have gone out the back and committed suicide half way through, just to avoid the second half. 80% of the dialogue consists of the word f#ck....and all it's derivatives.Not only is there no story, but what there is is so confusing as to be a health hazard. Do not even look for acting. It simply is non existent. Please, do not be duped by the inclusion of Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones. At this point, moviegoers must accept that if either one or both of them are in a movie that it is a very good reason to avoid it at all costs. They are not even trying to hide the fact anymore that they are simply selling their names to absolute rubbish, and are quite happy to walk away with a fat cheque, and could not give a damn about their fans. It is truly sad.Please....please...do not be tempted to spend hard earned cash on this tripe, just so these idiots can laugh all the way to the bank. You will never forgive yourself for wasting precious time and money on the worst trash ever to hit the screen.
