Before you step into this cinematic rollercoaster, be aware that "This is an Independent film," meaning it's a gem without the A-list actors or extravagant budget. However, don't let that deter you, because what this movie lacks in star power, it more than compensates with its adrenaline-fueled storyline.

The heart of the film revolves around a group of ex-military mavericks embarking on a high-stakes bank heist. Already on shaky ground due to an informant, their daring plan is fraught with tension and danger from the get-go.

The plot may be straightforward, but it's the characters' backstories that add depth and substance to the narrative. You'll find yourself invested in their struggles, triumphs, and personal demons, creating an emotional connection that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The film doesn't skimp on action either; expect a barrage of intense gunfights that'll have you gripping the edge of your popcorn bucket. The filmmakers have nailed the selection of firearms, ensuring each confrontation packs a punch and keeps the adrenaline pumping.

And yes, there are a couple of acid bath scenes thrown in for good measure, just in case your heart rate wasn't high enough already!

One of the standout aspects is the drone cinematography, which truly elevates the movie's visual appeal. From breathtaking aerial shots to unique perspectives, the camera work adds a level of artistry that's rarely seen in mainstream action films.

While I caught this gripping spectacle at the theater, I can confidently say it'll be just as thrilling on the small screen. The story and action hold up, making it a definite contender for a thrilling movie night at home.

In conclusion, if you're in the mood for an action-packed joyride that thrives on its thrilling plot, well-portrayed characters, and stellar drone cinematography, this independent gem is a must-watch. So grab your popcorn, buckle up, and get ready to experience an electrifying ride that might just leave you wanting more. I know I'd gladly watch it again on TV.

What a great surprise - i only gave this a chance because Clayne Crawford is in it, terrific edgy actor (the talented one from TV series Lethal Weapon, the wonderful Rectify, and several acclaimed indie movies including The Killing Of Two Lovers and The Integrity Of Joseph Chambers), and was shocked by how good it was. A genuinely tremendous opening set-piece, in which a heist goes wrong, comes pretty close to the wonders of Michael Mann's Heat with an intense and prolonged shootout. The film is beautifully shot, well-acted with muscular and committed direction, tight and straightforward - it may not be Shakespeare, but for action fans it delivers what it promises and more, a gripping, visceral heist movie made with real style and quality. Highly recommended.

A fun, shoestring-budget type, heist movie that borrows heavily from superior films in the genre. Namely and obviously the 199x movie "Heat". It's almost like the writers of this movie just finished Breaking Bad and then watched Heat directly preceding receiving the inspiration for writing this film. All that said, you could do worse than Breaking Bad and Heat for touchstones imo. The acting is not great (especially from the dude who played the good bro and the dude who played Pacino's cop character) and some of the lines are just awful but I found it enjoyable. Lots of gunfights and sincere but laughably terrible attempts at N'Orlins accents. I have definitely seen worse.

Going into this film with low expectations and unfamiliarity with the cast, I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly impressed by what unfolded. The movie, which I initially underestimated, proved to be a captivating experience filled with intense action and compelling performances.

From the start, the film grips you with its high-stakes heist plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The actors, though not household names, brought their characters to life with authenticity and vigor that rivaled seasoned stars. Their portrayal of the classic "good guys against the bad guys" scenario was fresh and engaging, making every moment count.

The action sequences were well choreographed, showcasing a blend of strategy and adrenaline that is often hard to balance in heist films. Each scene was crafted with precision, making the action not just exciting but believable.

Overall, this film is a hidden gem that deserves more attention. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves action-packed, edge-of-your-seat thrillers. The movie not only met but exceeded my expectations, earning my full respect and a high recommendation.

Never mind the clearly bogus high reviews, and this film is certainly more deserving than the 1/10's, so here's an honest real review; it's a decent and one-time watchable B-Film. The story is nothing new, but has a nice flow and continuity to it, with very little plot and technical issues, and decent action. The 100 min runtime could've used a 10-15 min trim to get rid of some of the filler. Pacing was decent, as was the cinematography and score, especially for a B film. I've never heard of any of the actors, but they performed fairly decent, although the Walter White looking guy and the lead FBI agent Nicoye Banks could've had better casting choices. Nevertheless, it's no 10 and certainly not a 1, but a fair 7/10 for one of the better watchable B films I've seen in a while.
