I knew this would be a bad one once I saw who was in it Kate Bosworth, Ryan Phillippe, Ving Rhames, names not associated with masterclass acting. The story might as well been written by a middle school student for an extra credit assignment.
The main character Miller, a master locksmith, is fresh out of prison after serving 10 years for a botched job where his crime partner died at the scene. Somehow he is allowed to work out his parole at a locksmith business, I have a fresh bald spot on my head from scratching so hard over the logic of this.
He gets guilted by his dead partner's sister into doing a new heist as payback for her brother's death which she blames Miller for. The score is a high stakes poker game hosted at a wealthy man's house. There he will just need to open the door to one of the rooms and grab the $500k. There you have it ladies and gentlemen the plot for the ages!
The heist was to be that very night just as he was being told to do it. No deliberation on a plan, no scoping out the neighborhood or studying who may or may not be there. No preparations necessary, just how a typical middle school kid would imagine life operates.
Miller creeps into the house with a ski mask on while the party is on-going. Strangely, no one is playing poker not even a hint of that at all. Our masked thief makes it upstairs to the room where he finally performs his finest work and picks open a common door *chuckle*. On the desk, he finds a bag containing $500k cash.
From this point on, its just marching the movie to a typical conclusion. The heist was half-baked you think they would bother to make the chase any better? The acting was not horrible but that's not enough to recommend this movie.
