“This is a u0026#39;heistu0026#39; movie with a fairly standard story and the usual range of characters and events.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne little difference is that it is set in Australia.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut one large difference is the pacing of the movie. It never gets bogged down and it never goes OTT – so we donu0026#39;t see people flying through the air, in slow motion, shooting two guns at once.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting is of a level where it well represents the sort of randomness found in such characters as well as offering up a hero for the audience to follow.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you want a fun action movie with enough of a story to follow and which moves along and keeps the interest up – this one is for you, my son.”
