All the iconotypes are there. The annoying idiot best friend Eddie (Michael Angarano). The good looking lead Chris Potamitis (Liam Hemsworth) works at an armored truck company. Partying with his idiot friend at a concert led to a drug arrest and getting him rejected by the police academy. And then there's James Ransone (Dwayne Johnson), the veteran NYPD Detective that is hot on their trail. This is dramatization of the largest cash heist in American history.
The setting is 1980s. It has the looks. Liam is ill fitting as a Greek New Yorker. He still looks like a surfing Aussi. He's miscast. But I do understand that a studio would want a hot star as the lead. Michael Angarano overplays the annoying best friend as if he's seen too many movies. Why would anybody tell this joker anything?
The tension do built. But the outcome was never in doubt. No good was ever going to come from this, especially if you have a loser friend like that. They were doomed before they started. It's too bad because it has the looks.
