this based on a true story movie is all right,i suppose.it involves a ban robber and his wife/partner,and the FBI as they try and stop him.problem is,he wears a good disguise and thanks to his wife(the brains behind the outfit)very organized.eventually the bank robberies escalate into shootings,and the move ends on a tragic,sad note.Unlike another In the Line of Duty movie,The FBI Murders,this one is not as brutally violent.it also moves a lot slower.the criminals in this one are shown to be more sympathetic.whether that's accurate to the real story,i don't know.Bruce Campbell(The Evil Dead Trilogy)and Lori Loughlin(TV's Full) House star as the husband and wife.both are decent enough.Loughlin was actually pretty good,transcending her all American girl image from Full House.i'd give this movie a 5.5/10

This movie has so many clichés, I had to stop counting. Not only this, but the film editing was horrible. This movie was supposed to take place in Chicago. I'm not sure when Chicago had backdrops of beautiful pine tree covered hills. As a resident of Portland, I immediately recognized the film location. As far as the plot goes, the leading female character has bi-polar disorder and that was also stereotyped and somewhat glossed over. The lead detective's role was oversimplified, especially in regards to his relationship with his father, Who, of course, is a retired police officer. I saw the first 15 minutes of this film and was pretty much able to predict the remaining hour.

Normally, I don't even bother with TV movies like this. I mean, usually, they are a poor adaptation of the true events and very biased. But, one of the leads is Bruce Campbell. How can you not pay attention when he is involved?

And like I predicted, he certainly elevates the viewing experience. Despite him being bogged down by other factors. For whatever reason, Lori Loughlin is first billed. Sure, she was huge when Full House was around. But her being a bigger star than Bruce Campbell? That is insanity. He himself doesn't seem to mind her character to be the brains of the operation, even when she clearly is unstable and unhinged. This story is based on the true story of Jeffrey and Jill Erickson. Not going to lie, I don't care. For me, it's more compelling what motivates characters to commit crimes like these and especially why they keep doing them even when they don't have to. This film implies, they were doing it for the rush. Then later they were doing it to keep up with their lifestyle. Yet, Jill was not feeling so great about doing them, even when I suspect these heists were her idea. Bruce gives as much depth as he can to Jeffrey. He obviously cares a lot about Jill. But, like any husband, wants to please his wife as much as possible.

Bruce is very serious and shows that he certainly is capable of good acting when he forsakes the campiness. However, it's unfortunate that he is not given the opportunity to do more than he is capable of.

Again, I really don't understand why Lori Loughlin is awarded such prominence. Apart from her looks she is an average actress. This is demonstrated in On Call (2025). She is decent. But nothing more.

Overall, this film is only worth it because of Bruce Campbell. But this is not a tile I can recommend.
