As a last resort, he partners with a greedy co-worker to rob a casino. When things go awry they’re forced to hijack a city bus.

“The formula could not have been more stereotyped: An ex-criminal (played by Jeffery Dean Morgan) gets his life together for his daughter who needs a quarter of a million dollar surgery. He ask his boss(played by Robert De Niro). His boss not only says no but fires him, leaving the ex-con no choice but to go back to his old ways and steel from his boss with the help of an inside man(played by Dave Bautista). The perfect plan goes horribly wrong and now they are being chased by a sympathetic, cop (played by Gina Carano).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a plot done a million times, but I have to admit, the characters on the screen are a little more in depth than youu0026#39;d usually have in such an action thriller. Does not hurt that the characters were performed well by some decent talent. Even De Niro gave a good performance, as he usually phones in these u0026quot;for the pay checku0026quot; rolls, but he made me feel something for the character he plays. Though Bautista still needs some work on the dramatic stuff, Jeffery Dean Morgan has the charisma to keep you interested, and a nod to Morris Chestnut, who did put a nice twist on the henchmen concept he played.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo itu0026#39;s like if you combined Heat and Speed and then watered it down a butch, but overall, it was a good crime drama to watch.”
