What a great movie... there wasn't a dull moment during the film, (the moment when you grab your phone) but solid from the start.

... View MoreI gave this movie an 8, and ya maybe i was overcompensating a little for the negative reviews, but i do think this movie is much better than the 5.5 score it currently has. Bruce Willis called this one in from his trailer after a night of bing drinking so if you're looking for John McClane action jackson moves and pithy one-liners from him, you wont find them here. His afternoon stubble may have been his best feature in this film. Chris Meloni was solid, as was Entourage guy, and i'm a full on fan of Dave Bautista. There is a decent amount of violence and good pacing to the movie. It's definitely watchable in my opinion.

With that concept in mind writers Michael Cody with Chris Sivertson have fashioned a whodunit that is loud, fast moving, crude and entertaining as directed by Steven C. Miller (Arseanl, Submerged, Extraction, Silent Night, etc). The plot is complex not only because of the use of masks hiding the marauders' identities, but also the interplay of corruption both corporate, military and police/FBI, and the high level of noise that covers the little dialogue there is. The story centers around a Cincinnati murder conspiracy and cover-up of an Army Ranger unit killed in a classified mission some years ago. When four armed robbers converge on Hubert National Bank, their motives throw suspicion on the bank's owner, played by Bruce Willis, and the corporate executives, as well as prominent politicians and high ranking members of the US military. The FBI Special Agent in Charge (Christopher Meloni), and his agents (Dave Bautista, Adrian Grenier, Johnathan Schaech, Lydia Hull) must decipher between truth and lies as he leads the investigation and even begins questioning whether members of his own team can be trusted. Each new twist unravels a deeper journey to determine who is truly innocent or guilty and who will ultimately find redemption. It becomes clear that a larger conspiracy is at play. Revenge plays a role, gangs are involved (Chris Hill, Texas Battle, etc), and the murders proceed until the true head of the marauding heisters is identified.Strong presence by Meloni and Grienier and Bautista carry the film and in the end the mystery is solved in fine style. The film is not unlike the multiple television crime dramas flooding the TV screens, so if that is your cup of tea, this is a worthwhile film to watch.
