Should be way shorter than 2h30m! That's reserved for really special movies and this one it's very far from being special. I had to stop it after 1 hour because I was getting really bored. I'm giving it a 5 because the movie is not that bad but I feel it deserves a worse rating because of those 2h30... Plus it's full of American clichés and the usual American bullcrap. If you don't see it, don't worry, it's just not worth it. I wouldn't even think about watching it again. No, it's not a good movie and it's not even a good "heist" genre movie. If this is a "heist" movie it's the most boring I ever saw.

I gotta be honest, I loved everything about this movie. It being in the heist genre caught my attention, along with Gerard and 50 cent in the cast. The opening scene is marvelous, it gives you a taste of what's in store for the rest of the film.This would be rated much higher if people weren't low-balling it with 1/10 scores, these people consider themselves "critics" and are stuck in nostalgia with the Michael Mann epic: Heat (1995). I have no idea who directed this movie, but they did a great job and admittedly I have watched it countless times. Sit back and enjoy, and please rate this movie what it really deserves.

From the initial trailers and promotional material for this movie, I expected a decent amount of well shot and choreographed shoot outs and thrilling heist sequences. Instead, this movie turned out to be a dragged out for over 2 hours and 20 minutes and full of unlikable characters that you didn't particularly connect with as a viewer. Granted, this film doesn't want you to 'like' many of its characters but the suedo machismo of the script and predominately male cast of characters felt generic and generally not interesting in the current era of movies. It felt as if it wanted to be something like Sicario with it's commentary on its characters and nature of heists but falls short of telling a suspenseful and dark story like the former. Even the shootout sequences felt somewhat hard to track but entertaining enough alongside its heist sequences to give it an average rating but I couldn't give it anything more. Parts of the plot also don't make a great deal of sense.For a movie with Gerald Butler and 50 Cent, I expected a bit more balls to the wall action and high octane chase sequences/shoot outs rather than the bloated and somewhat po faced story it tells here with its lacking characters. If the movie had more guns and less sleaze, it would probably be a lot more entertaining. Try something like The Town with Ben Affleck if you're looking for a more character driven heist movie.

Good cast and storyline. Plenty of action. The plot thickens. I ended up rooting for the bad guys.
