User Reviews

Lousy action robbery

If u looking for action this might be worth but storyline and development was unconvincing.. There were so many missing scenes in which you probably should have bond with characters. It felt like progression where left aside here and there.. no real antagonist until the very end which doesn't create thrill at all.

Unfortunately there is no deeper message, no dispute, no understanding, no turning point.. I definitely expected more.
