Sometimes hard to understand what the heck they are saying, especially near the beginning. Not sure if its the Brit accent or that thy are speaking SO FAST. The story is pretty typical. Some local small time thugs are running schemes to make extra cash, but this time they rob the wrong guy; he's a big time crime boss, and demands a HUGE sum to go away. Actors Ed Speleers, Will Poulter, Alfie Allen, and Sebastian DeSousa have to come up with a way to raise money fast. They enlist the help of "Frankie" (Emma Rigby) and they are off to Miami to find some big fish to fleece. This film is all about using hot credit cards they have lifted, and it seems to me that the credit card companies would have shut off the cards quicker than they do in our story. But... I guess one has to buy into the plot. or not. It's not bad. Not a lot of chemistry between the actors. Lots of topless females and cussing. All kinds of bloody, violent shootings. Some humor, but not much. The story overall is pretty good. Directed by Julian Gilbey. Not a bad way to spend an hour and a half.

I went into this movie without much preknowledge about it. A bunch of college students cover their student loans by doing scams with credit cards. One day they trick the wrong person and a crime boss urges them to pay their debt of 2 million dollars in 2 weeks. That is the basic setup from where the film draws its suspense and interest. I have to say it kind of fails to deliver, though.

The beginning does a good job of filling in the characters and is enjoyable. The characters seem to follow the typical role prototypes. Camera direction is competent, there are very beautiful shots, and the few action scenes are not bad. On a side note, Emma Rigby looks gorgeous in here, although she has a very barbie-like vibe going on. The thought crossed my mind that the movie title actually fit her best...

The actual heist they are planning is a lackluster. In the end, you realize that it is actually dumb, and there are some major plot holes involved. There are moment where you scratch your head wondering how dumb the characters act.

There are tons of alternatives with better script, story and acting. Nevertheless, if you are in the mood for a lightly fun little heist movie, you may watch it. You won't miss something, though.

I found this film a lot of fun and very enjoyable. I've again read reviews and there are some people who pan this fim. I also read that even Will Poulter who starred in the film regretted doing it though I don't know why, I've seen many far worse films than this one. If you like action/crime films, this shouldn't disappoint ... if it does then you're hard to please. It's even based on a true story apparently.

I would say, Its an amateur job done all the way it is.

Talking from the ending, which just had end in the middle of somewhere. Tried to ends like with a climax a FastFive6 , by giving someone a handsome amount.

Only the action I will say is better in any other aspect in that movie. Some unnecessary adult scene was added , perhaps to add a attraction in the movie poster or promo.

Not much of a thriller nor adventure , just some teenagers got onto a trap.

I don't understand why would they go to strip club while pursuing a Million dollar Heist, amateurs !!!. And what an Idiot Steve Dawson is .. meh !!!

Well if you have nothing to do but need to pass some time you may watch this movie.

Reel Score: 4.3-4.6/10

Not really a bad film but the reviews here are 5.9/10 which must be a joke. So giving a 4/10 lowers it. But on a given day, I could even give it a 5/10 which is still below average (5-6) for me. Given it's a film from UK, that's not good news since there are plenty of solid films coming from the British Isles lately.

It's hard to find something really likable about this film other than Frankie played by Emma Rigby. Alfie Allen who plays Yatesey is a bright spot. The extra nuts in the private jet was actually a bit funny, but there wasn't much to laugh about for the entire film except laughing at it. The film claims to be base on a real story but it's about 95% fictionalized except for the car crash taken from Graff Diamonds Robbery which was UK's largest in 2009.

Other from that, there are no justified claims of reality. Acting is average, script is weak. We are supposed to believe a group of young men who can barely grow facial hair are responsible for raking in cash from a sophisticated fraud ring before trying to pull off a major heist. It's rather simplistic, aiming at a young audience. Speed, sex, violence are all part of the unoriginal formula. It's like a teenage horror film meets Ocean's Eleven.

There are dozens of better capers and this film doesn't fall among them. Still, it's passable if you have nothing better to do as it's not horrible, but it does fall short.
