Stephen Dorff leads a crew of bank robbers who are slick and use no violence and have many different ingenious getaways. They inadvertently steal some very valuable bonds that could change their lives, but the owners want them back by any means necessary. Natasha Henstridge plays the detective who is out to capture them. Above average little heist/crime movie.

Terrible. Absolutely horrid. Please, for your own sake, do not waste your time with this horrid excuse for a movie.

A heist flick with a difference, that difference being the young criminals use extreme sports to accomplish their goals. Think of it as 'Point Break' but with using various methods to robbing such as roller skating, climbing and sky diving, so not that original then. Its a pretty standard heist idea really, the criminals are the best at their game, cops can't nail them, the leader of the gang is played by Stephen Dorff who falls for police detective Natasha Henstridge who doesn't realise her lover is the criminal she's after and the senior police officer is good old Bruce Payne. Oh and the mafia is also after the gang whilst using them at the same time, usual fluff. Its all very predictable and reasonable fun, some nice stunts and car chases but nothing we haven't seen before. As usual the film is made more interesting because of the snarling creepy Payne who is always ALWAYS the bad guy, so yeah expect the usual twists, not that its much of a surprise, its Bruce Payne!. Kudos also to Steven Berkoff as a wig wearing western cowboy-like mafia head honcho. Not sure if he was suppose to be a western cowboy redneck or some kind of teddy boy/Elvis type greaser, amusing though. Its basically been done many times before but its not terrible.

From the director of the original Taxi, his first English language debut is a quite cheesy, but enjoyable fast-paced B flick.

Inline skating in the beginning is the highlight of this movie. If the total movie is more X-game like, I would like it.
