A well trained but no so disciplined group of war vets go on a bank robbery spree culminating in an attempt to rob a bank reserve depot where old cash is accounted for, then shredded, and legitimately taken out of the U.S. currency pool. Gerard Butler plays 'Big Nick' O'Brien a rogue detective who leads a small but elite group of criminal detectives who want to shut this bank robbery team down for good.
There are a few unexpected but good twists and turns, and the car chases and gun battles that take place on the streets of Los Angeles are exceptionally well done. I was not impressed that the films' star Gerard Butler, who plays 'Big Nick' O'Brien was portrayed as an out of control cop who plays both physical and mental mind games with his wife who initiates divorce proceedings against him while he is in the midst of breaking up this military trained band of bank robbers.
It is a decent cat and mouse, good versus evil, action film that deserves at least two viewings to fully grasp how ell done this film was made. Kudos to the writer/director Christian Gudegast who pulled off a successful crime/action film that deserves more attention than it has received.
