Featured reviews
Michael Bay is a great action director but he's no story teller.
Stereotypical gunho cops who are outwitted by 2 criminals driving a heavy ambulance carrying 4 people ,even though they drive souped up Ford Mustangs.
Good start but it goes on way too long.
Also the camerawork made me go dizzy.

Remake of a Danish comedy in an attempt to make an action movie where the only good thing is the performance of all its actors.
The director in his terrible line of not allowing the film to breathe without any break. The camera totally crazy shaking everywhere and getting to produce serious dizziness.

The action scenes on this movie are awesome. They are intense, fast faced and fun.
But the dialog, oh the dialog is dreadful. The script makes no sense et all. The arguments and actions taken by both cops and thieves are so weak, like if they were leaving in fantasy land. I will not mention any particular situation here cause I don't want to be flagged as spoilers, but just keep in mind that if you are going to watch this movie the script is bonkers.
Also, what is this thing with Michael Bay that the camera viewfinder is always moving like crazy in different directions? Is that his personal directing style?
I did not give this movie a 4/10 star review because of the action scenes. So 6/10 seems fair enough to me.

So if you took Money Train, mated it with The Island and let the child be raised by someone who watched Heat once in 7th grade and thought it was cool but couldn't quite remember everything about it, you'd get this movie. It's really predictable and still entertaining. As with most Mike Bay offerings the female lead manages to stay gorgeous throughout. The male leads either have or don't have a moral compass. And operators, everybody's an operator. JG spends the whole movie accurately pewning people with no red dot and his "flip up back up sights" down. Damn you Old Bay seasoning, you made me think these seasoned fries were crab fries like I'm back at Chickie and Pete's.
Check your brain at the door.
It's a wild ride, that makes NO SENSE.
You have to keep remembering.... it's a Michael Bay film.
Oh... and he LOVES drone footage.
