Elba and Walker worked well together and Elba has true leading man charisma. I hope Idris Elba and Paul Walker do a sequel. This flick is pretty much a pastiche of other heist movies, but lets face it if you're going to rip off other people's work then at least do a decent job, right? Mission accomplished. And who knew Chris Brown could run a parkour route? He carried that off rather well, I thought. & Brown were better that Keanu hands down. Did you ever see Keanu Reeves in anything? T.I. It was novel to see two fly brothers get such big roles.
I didn't even mind the shaky camera work, Chris Brown, or T.I.'s acting that much. Since I'm of that demographic, it wasn't too hard for me. You just had to get used to seeing the African American actors in the leading roles opposite Matt Dillon. I would place it on par with Ronin, I think. Probably not as good as The Sting or, even, Ocean's 11, but hey few will be. As heist movies go this was better than Heat & the updated Italian Job. I've seen about a squillion movies (yes, that's because I'm old), and this was one of the better ones of this genre. Rating: PG-13 (Intense Sequences of Violence|Intense Sequences of Action|Partial Nudity|Sexual Situations|Some Language) The lure of so much cash is too tempting to resist but, unbeknown to Gordon's men, this heist puts them on a collision course with Russian mobsters and a detective (Matt Dillon) who will do anything to capture them. As they celebrate the latest job, a former associate arrives with a daring plan to rob an armored car. Gordon Jennings (Idris Elba) and his friends enjoy a luxurious lifestyle funded by bank robberies, and they avoid capture by sticking to a strict set of rules.
