When a rash of high risk robberies turn homicidal involving some cops getting killed, a group of renegade sheriffs led by Nick Flanagan (Butler), start looking for answers. With the help of video surveillance they are pointed in the direction of Donnie (Jackson) a hotshot driver who has taken up with recently released felon Merrimen (Schreiber) and his band of outlaws. Flanagan puts the squeeze on Donnie to give up information on his thieving crew so that they can get caught in the midst of a robbery. But eventually it comes down to a game of mental chess between Flanagan and Merrimen to see if the latter can either get away or get caught for doing a crime.
Reel Talk:
I sit down at the screening, the movie starts and right from the start the movie takes off with a hard hitting scene and I am like this movie is gonna be alright. But then as fast as the action started, it goes into a dull, bore mood. It is trying to set the tone for the movie but it's like really slow during that period and then it picks up towards the ending. The film has a good cast headed by Gerard Butler and Pablo Schreiber along with co stars 50 Cent, O'Shea Jackson Jr. and Mo McRae. The movie was cool but would have been much better if it were more intense action like it started with. Otherwise just an average cops and robbers film.
