The writing is cringe-worthy, and the film is never funny.. even when it's tries to be, BUT it's paced nicely, well-acted, and full of twisting plot-lines and interesting characters.
Kurt Russell still has it, and Terrance Stamp is another fine addition to the cast.
This is part "Italian Job", part "Out of Sight", part "Now You See Me", and has steven soderbourgh written all over it, but in that regard it's a fine production on it's own merits. Aside from the writing - it comes off as well-made little film.
Worth a flyer at the redbox.
62/100 I'm right with the current IMDb rating here. The ending saved the film for me. The last 30 minutes is pretty strong, but it's that dialog for the first hour that keeps me from going any higher. That and the complete and total lack of comedy... guess that goes back to the writing too.
Good story, good production values, interesting characters, deplorable script.
