A lot of fun.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

All SPOILERS (Alert!)... First, the title is just stupid. Nobody knows that's the California police code for robbery and nobody cares. The premise of the military contractors' money transferred to various banks in varied amounts prompting the mercenaries to rob one of the banks is just ridiculous. The original contractors made an automated electronic transfer; it was not a deposit of a pallet of cash (which would have been relocated anyway). The amount of cash on-hand at the bank has no relationship to that electronic deposit. The premise of selecting that bank, independent of its design, security, cash-on-hand at that time, or anything else is completely absurd. Of course, if the contractor's original electronic deposits have nothing to do with it, then the whole basis of the beginning of the movie is lost entirely. Either way, it's all pretty stupid.The woman on the street in front of the bank, upon spotting the masked, robbing mercenaries, actually runs toward the bank and gets closer to the robbers rather than stopping and backing away or running n the opposite direction.One robber entering the vault area is told he has one minute. Why would he have only one minute? Apparently, because they aren't going to stay around there very long. So, then they collect everyone's cell phones which makes no sense given a quick exit. Then, of course, the robbers do not take only one minute spending as much as 10 minutes bagging the money. There are no logistics indicating the need to collect cell phones especially considering that a silent alarm would have been assumed at their initial entrance.Having already bagged money, the robbers could have easily made their escape quickly while the police resistance was minimal and instead chose to delay while the police force builds their siege of the bank. It was interesting too that the bank robbers chose to rob the bank while carrying along a giant sniper rifle with a tripod.... standard issue for a lean and mean, in and out operation I guess. Still it accounts for the lack of a quick exit, because otherwise, they would not have a chance to use all of the equipment and explosives they brought with them into the bank.The bleeding partner cop could clearly have been removed from harm's way before becoming critical by retreating directly in the path of the vehicle's protection to a distance he could be extracted. But, then, of course, we wouldn't have had that heart wrenching musical drama of his last words. It seemed that Nick Cage missed the whole thing while standing inches away aiming his pistol at the bank and doing nothing to remove the injured officer. Even the tourniquet was applied incorrectly. Unfortunately, the police officer was stuck behind the car and at risk just because the novice writers wrote it that way. You have to have at least one presumed death that later survives just for the drama regardless of whether that actually makes any sense.It's a little weird that we have an Interpol agent investigating in America without any presence of the FBI at all where she single handedly shakes down a gun store owner with vague and meaningless threats. But, lucky we had the Interpol agent on hand at the robbery to say poignant things like "How American of you" and to officially inform the police that "These men don't play by the book." And, to that, the officer in charge exclaims, "I don't know what we're going to do if these guys start shooting hostages" (like they had never considered that before). Naturally, the robbers then execute the bank manager for absolutely no reason at all. Still, in spite of doing nothing, the Interpol agent was posthumously congratulated for a job well done. I was about to ask for extra butter 'cause this thing couldn't get more corny!The melodrama with the daughter and her issues with her father's handling of her mother's death is one of the worst written, worst acted and directed and completely unnecessary scenes in movie history. It was very heard to watch and only the promise of Nicholas Cage kept me watching.The movie was terrible and stupid at every turn. It made no sense at all. They might have gotten away with this crap back in 1961 but today I think we expect a little more. This is not worth your time let alone the whole dollar we paid to watch it. It's not even worth it if they pay you.

We watched this because it had Nicolas Cage and was listed as "inspired by true events". Well...it has to be one of the worst films I have watched in a long time and I've watched a few turkeys!The acting was really bad, there was no chemistry between any of the actors. The shootout was done badly, I mean why send your Swat team to an explosion and your normal beat cops to a 211 in progress?? Just doesn't make sense If you really want to watch what the movie was "inspired" by, then watch 44 Minutes, based on the North Hollywood shootout from the 90'sWe did watch to the end, just out of curiousity

Worst acting I've seen, looks like it's been made cheaply

All that bloodshed for a little over a million dollars? That's just wrong. Acting was pretty terrible too.
