About this movie

James (Hayden Christensen) owes his life to his older brother Frankie (Adrien Brody) after taking the rap for a crime they committed together. Now, Frankie is released and back on the streets.

There have been a million movies about bank robbery, so to make the movie different and unique you have to have a more complex plot or something to differentiate it from so many others. But they did not even try. It has two estranged brothers, a girlfriend just for the sake of it, and then the robbery that was not all that good. Waste of money and worse waste of time.

This was a very upsetting rental. It took forever to gain any motion into action sequences, the dialog made no sense and didnt tie anything together with the plot. Its an excuse to watch an hour and a half Akon music video. The only reason it got any stars at all is because I had to put at least one. Im disappointed in Adrian Brody as an actor.

One of the last films I remember standing up & clapping in was a cinematic adventure called THE TOWN. It involved 2 brotherly bank robbers that have cool masks & Boston accents&thugs pulling all the strings. I'm guessing these guys did too. Original?! Get real! The Town is Apollo 13, this is Dune. Eminem VS Asher Roth. STAR WARS VS attack of the clones (as handsome as Hayden "bilson beard" Christensen is, he ruined the whole franchise along w/ jarjar)
