3.5 out of 5 stars
This was one of my Black Friday purchases because it looked like a nice mindless popcorn film (which is was). There are some movies I go into and expect nothing but a good laugh, scream or thrill (this gave all three).
The movie is about a group of security guards who decide to steal from their company (they are armored truck guards). They talk the new guy into going along with it but when it takes a turn for the worse and people start to get hurt he locks himself in the truck to try and protect the money. Eventually a police officer gets hurt and he brings him into the truck. It all comes together in a very predictable but satisfying ending.
This would be a fun date night movie because it is not horribly scary and it is very predictable but in the end it is fun to watch. I especially loved the cheesy acting that was over dramatic. It was almost hysterical at times but fun to watch. You will recognize some of the actors who probably did this just for the payday because it was a very simple plot and simple script.
But the difference is this movie does not pretend to be anything more than a good popcorn movie-- it doesn't even try to be a blockbuster movie (which I think it could have been with the right marketing campaign.
Rent this-- you won't be disappointed. Let me know what you think-- love it? hate it?
