Nothing groundbreaking, but still a solid watch

I like heist movies like Den of Thieves, so I turned this one on. The movie's main characteristic is the absence of anything groundbreaking, fresh, and original. The movie seemingly borrows from an assortment of heist movies, including Den of Thieves. The result is that the movie is predictable and forgettable. The ending is a bit of a mixed bag, relying on some mildly incredulous actions by the policeNonetheless, I still found the movie to be a very easy and fun watch. The action scenes are intense; the police investigation is delivered intelligently for most of the movie (outside of the ending). The character Mick is awesome and definitely overshadows his nicer brother. The pacing is smooth.Again - the movie won't stay with you, and there isn't much you haven't seen. But if you like heist movies, crime movies, cop movies, and action movies - you'll have no trouble sitting through this one7.5/10.

trying to be better movies

In New Orleans, two brothers and their military brothers form a bank robbery crew. They use their military skills to the fullest, but they are surprised by the unexpected arrival of a SWAT team. The FBI is leading the charge as the city is on high alert for the surviving crew members. Ava is their inside woman at the bank. They are lifelong companions from the Irish Channel neighborhood of New Orleans.There are some good action sequences. The opening bank robbery is good. There is a great section where they are captured by a black crime lord. The rest is a bit of a struggle. The robbery crew does a passable job at being hard. The opening joke reminds me of the inappropriate humor from Predator. The action reminds me of the kinetic energy of Heat. It's obvious that this film is pulling inspiration from some of the best action thrillers around. Problem is that it's beyond their abilities. I would really cut back on the cops in this cops and robbers drama. The actors and filmmaker do struggle at times outside of the bloody gun violence.
