The film opens with a bank robbery in London, Canada 6/12/88. It then flashes back to years earlier as we see Gilbert William Galvan jr. (Josh Duhamel). He does some early asides to the camera as he gets sentenced to a minimum security prison in Michigan. He escapes and ends up in Canada. He discovers how easy it was to rob banks. You go into a bank, politely ask for all the money. Instruct the teller not to trigger the alarm or put dye into the bag. Thank them and leave. While in Canada he hooks up with Andrea (Elisha Cuthbert) who quickly discovers what he does and goes on one job with him. While based on a true story in reality his wife did not find out until he was arrested. Our robber known by an alias Robert Whitman, also had a relationship with Tommy Kay (Mel Gibson) based on real life character Tommy Craig aka "The Fat Man" a well known Ottawa fence who headed up the Chrysler gang as they all drove Fifth Avenues. Had the story been fictional he would have given his wife a Teddy Bear loaded with cash and had nothing in his case.
Nice likeable robber who well planned his robberies.
