A group of security agents plan to rob the armored van that they are protecting.
The idea is undoubtedly original. An heist movie from the point of view of the guards, who are also doing the heist. Thinking about it you’ll notice what is missing, an adversary to thwart the robbers. Sadly the screenwriter answer to this is that the robbers are the clumsiest that I have ever seen and therefore the majority of the problems arise because their plan doesn’t make any sense.
Moreover for an action movie this one is curiously bereft of action. First we have to wait thirty minutes to see the actual start of the heist, then when it start the situation quickly evolves in an annoying siege with an armored van as the home fort.
The protagonist is bland and uninspiring while a bunch of really good actors, Fishburne, Dillon, Reno, get saddled with undeveloped roles.
