Generally I really like heist movies, even the mediocre ones (Ocean's Twelve, Heist) so this one at least kept my attention, but anything not having to do with the heist was just lame, despite some okay stunts. The acting was average from veterans like Michael Caine and Lena Headey but these characters all around made many dumb decisions. Pretty forgettable and sad to see someone like Caine in a movie like this. 2.5/5
