You get at tip off when you find that there were three writers, my experience is that films written by teams are just not great stories....Just saw this....it has Ben Afflik all over it...co-wrote, directed and stared and is in almost every scene.

This is a B movie with an A star and would not even be showing in theaters everywhere if not for Ben, it could have been a movie of the week on the Lifetime channel. The story is mediocre however it is well cast.

Includes motor vehicle action, must have shot up every boston pd car on the fleet, some gunplay...after all this is about bank robbery, and lots of Ben wincing and an occassional grimmace.

I give this a 4 outta 10, cause it has Ben in it and some decent action, but don't go for the story, or the pace....straight to DVD video in no time.

I don't see why everyone said it was so good. It was mediocre at best. 5/10

I liked it.

Not the greatest thing but a decent caper and a smart story. I did not love it but did not feel cheated either.

It was decent. I didn't mind paying 5 bucks/ticket for the early show.

Was kind of fun seeing that blonde all crack-whored out,

it was a good movie.

Just not enough of anything. It took to long for action scenes, needed more story, but it could have been great
