This movie about armored truck drivers planning a massive heist has
a good start and some good moments, but ultimately feels long at less
than 90 minutes. Columbus Short plays Ty, a down-on-his-luck rookie
guard for an armored truck company who learns of a plot to steal
millions, masterminded by his good buddy and coworker, Mike (Matt
Dillon, in a decent scary turn). Of course, the plan goes horribly
awry, and Ty finds himself in a battle with his co-conspirators.
Director Nimród Antal sets most of the action in an abandoned
mill of some sort, and it mostly consists of Ty locked in one of the
trucks trying to figure out what to do. This actually gets quite boring
quite fast, and an array of good performances can’t overcome this
major shortcoming. Still, I have two words that almost make this worth
seeing … SKEET ULRICH!
