2/4
The film's one redeeming merit is Kim Basinger, a good actress who has a sweet presence here. I cared about her character more than the character deserved to be cared about -- and more, I suspect, than the filmmakers did. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 05/22/2020

Joy b @9mr_0 Dec 30 فيلم متوسط قصة عادية و احداث متوقعة التصوير و الاخراج جيد See more Marcus T @MarcusT12 Nov 11 I have to agree with the critics on this one. Slow moving, predictable heist movie, with uninteresting and poorly developed characters. There was a slight twist at the end, but over all unsatisfying. I almost quit with 40 minutes to go.
