Plot holes? Of course there are plot holes galore. You could drive TWO of those cash-carrying security armored trucks side by side through the unexplained gaps in this little flick's story- line. But I didn't buy it to experience the thrills of some superlatively- filmed teen bank robbery. No, I collect movies starring pretty girls, and I went from a 90210 guest star (Caitlin Thompson) to WALKING THE HALLS, and that DVD had this one's trailer, and I took one look, Just One Look, at this pretty squirrel fox who plays the female lead, and I thought "good golly jeepers that kid looks just like Jennie Garth!" which brought the circle back to BEVERLY HILLS 90210. Now, those were the heady days, I was so mesmerized by that one back then, And This, This Is Like Having Jennie Garth Re- Born! So, I am just sitting here, staring wistfully at this pretty actress, this wonderful beautiful young girl, and am I gonna complain about plot holes? Nope. Aw. The script takes on too much. Actually, I should say the story-line takes on too much. The creators thought about having pretty girls be the robbers, but they all (except one scapegoat) had to be innocent... and for a basically small project with limitations this causes immense stretching of belief. Cassi and her kidnapped by terrorists Dad. Too much. Way too much. I mean, my brain is turned to much by the beauty on-screen, but shucks, there are so many complications.Like, this junior bank official can sit there with freaking hot evidence and download a print-out unseen unquestioned? That kind of evidence, the FBI (or whoever) would have taken hold of immediately, as considerable cash is involved. Also, she rushes off, and later on, the police ask, where is she? D- uh, I mean, like, I am mesmerized by the blonde kid, but this TV movie really falters about within a few minutes.Notice the bloodless fatal gunshots.And Abbie is screwed big-time, as, like another reviewer has already pointed out, back home lies two (unexplained) dead bodies. So that little arrangement with Agent Mendoza is pointless. Like the movie.But complain? Man! Me? Gawd, if Abbie Cobb presented the bleeding weather forecast on telly, I'd damn well tune in.

Cassie (Abbie Cobb) is a reluctant bank teller for her mother Joyce (Maeve Quinlan). Then 3 robbers come in. Cassie recognizes one of them as her best friend Abbie (Cassi Thomson), and she's taken hostage. She crashes the armor truck and injures her other friend Grace (Davida Williams). She helps them take care of Grace and finds out the real reason for the robbery. The other girl Marie (Augie Duke) is older and is doing it for the money with her boyfriend Nick (James Ferris). Meanwhile police agent Mendoza (Rosa Blasi) suspects that Cassie is actually in on the robbery.It's an ambitious bank heist story, and a passable Lifetime movie. The girls are perfectly likable. The dialog is a little clunky at times. It starts off slowly, but it gets better. However the ambitious plot goes over the edge with a lack of overall style and competent action directions. A big screen movie would push the action to the next level, but this just doesn't have the next gear.

Had time to kill and wasn't very interested in Game 1 of the World Series, not a fan of either team, anyway back to my review. I was surprised by the start of the movie and how it was moving quite long and getting me more and more interested on how it would end. Very disappointed on the ending. First off, Agent Mendoza probably got jailtime for helping not only a bank robber but a murderer and would have have been joined by the girls and probably the Mom as well.The ending should have been that Cassie was able to get the rest of the money from Nick and Marie, they ended up at the exchange and got into a shooting match with the Mexicans and ended up killing each other. It could have then been a deal gone wrong with Nick and the Mexicans. Then have the Mom put the bracelet on Marie's wrist. Cassie could have stated that Nick and Marie "kidnapped" her father and as a way to force her to her a way to rob the bank.

This movie had just too many plot holes. There are, in fact, three armored security guards per truck. Not two. - The money held in banks is marked, so while the girl could've used it to barter for her father, she wouldn't have been able to use it herself unless she had a money laundering business. Bagging and keeping anything above her required 500,000 would have been pointless. She seemed smart enough to have known this, given her heisting abilities. - The mother could have easily been arrested for actions. - The final fight where the FBI agent gives the gun to the dead Mexican...A) his prints would not have been on it. His fingers were barely touching.B) did she wipe that gun before handing it over?C) the gun was shot at the man in question, therefore cops would have noticed that the gun was used agaisnt him, and not that he used it agaisnt the FBI agent. D) The Mexican had a fully loaded AK47 at his feet... With his fingerprints all over it. Why would he be seen dead holding that crappy pistol?Just wrong. Wrong!
