The title of this forgettable B-movie refers to a gang of crooks (Michael Ealy, Chris Brown, Idris Elba, Paul Walker & Hayden Christensen, and later Tip “T.I.” Harris) that plan and execute elaborate, high-yield bank robberies. The focus flits between these bad guys and the two cops (Matt Dillon & Jay Hernandez) trying to second-guess them. Not terrible; there is some attempt to fill out the characters. None is particularly interesting. It’s mostly tough talk, angst, the wearing of stylish clothing and endless gunbattles. A smirking Christensen in a silly hat is, predictably, the worst offender.
