Every few years a heist film hits theaters that has the potential to go in two different directions. Sometimes we are wowed like with The Inside Man, and other times we are sadly disappointed like The Thomas Crown Affair. This holiday season we are given a taste of what could potentially be seen as not only an action packed film, but also a collaborative piece of cinematic excellence in image, story telling, and talent. Nimrod Antal gives us a thrill ride from start to finish. I sat on the edge of my from the second the action started right through to the end credits, but I had to admit that with such talented actors portraying the roles of the armored truck guards it is no wonder the film is a must see. With seasoned actors such as Jean Reno, Laurence Fishburne, Fred Ward and Matt Dillon I could not stop thinking that they are like a fine bottle of wine, each growing better as the years go on. It was even fun seeing Skeet Ulrich, who after the first Scream film I almost though had disappeared from the acting scene, up there on the big screen again playing along and keeping up with the amazing talent he was surrounded by. Even the brief appearance of Milo Ventimiglia were bring those Heros fans yelling and screaming to the theater.
If you are looking for some action packed adventures this weekend I would suggest checking out this film. The cast will bring you to your feet and give you all of your heist film needs. It will even get your heart racing during the armored truck chase scene. You will never be able to look at an armored vehicle the same after seeing this film.I look forward to Nimrod Antal's next project Predators to hit theaters next year.
