Purely Joyful Movie!

Dreadfully Boring

Am I Missing Something?

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Chris Potamitis (Liam Hemsworth) is a young man living in NYC in the late 70's. He manages to get a job as a security guard which involves large amounts of money, little security, and over whelming temptation. He lives in a neighborhood of Greeks, along with his loud mouth, foul mouth friend Eddie (Michael Angarano). He is the classic idiot side kick who messes everything up.Eddie has big dreams for the money that Chris guards and desires to be a big shot, even though no one can stand him. Dwayne Johnson plays the investigating officer and comes in about half way through. His name as well as Emma Roberts are over billed for their roles. The film is based on an actual robbery, and like real crime, it is more akin to "dumb crook news" than a master criminal.The film makes for an entertaining action drama.Parental Guidance: Plenty of F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

Get this I happened to work for Sentry Armored Services off of Boston post road in the north Bronx I witnessed the money room that open and without the security and accountability for each drop off at the end of the shift, we all knew that the bosses were robbing the joint everyday that so I almost knocked one of the managers out in the street, those who knew the real dogs name worked there at that time, her name was Sheba the crapping machine that dog left land mines in the loading bay every morning, now for me I left that company months prior and very broke to work for Wells Fargo Armored happily, good movie the first minutes of the movie memories!

The story has a very nice and potential background as its base. But it turned out that the movie didn't really took advantage of this in the development and execution. The opening looks quite nice with the back and forth flow of the story, starting the story near the ending point, and the quick story buildup between the start and the conflict revelation. But then it plunges into mediocrity, and quite honestly boredom, since the movie decreased its speed significantly and let the drama and investigation set in more dominantly. The action also don't take long when they happen. Too much use of close up angles combined with the very quick camera movement with less shot accuracy takes precious split seconds at those sequences to refocus on what we are viewing.The acting seems just a standard job in overall. It's a bad surprise considering the potentials of Dwayne Johnson and Liam Hemsworth.

I saw stars like Dwayne Johnson and Emma Roberts on the cover, so i thought that it will be a great thriller film, but i felt disappointing at the end. The Start was perfect, and it just encourages me to continue, and it makes me on fire waiting the hot actions to happen. But like i said, it didn't rise to my expectation. Liam Hemsworth, was not convincing, i like his brother more:P. And the surprise was in the role played by Dwayne Johnson, his role was so simple and small, and i felt like Dwayne himself was not convinced by his role. There is nothing to say about Emma Roberts, because i didn't see her in the film:P. The true story of the heist is attractive but the director didn't know how to play his cards well, and so the events in the film, was boring, predictable, and there is nothing special to note. So as i mentioned, the film begins solid, and attractive, but this is not gonna last, and the beauty of the beginning starts to melt, to reach a very simple and uninspired ending.
