Storyline:
A seasoned team of bank robbers, including Gordon Jennings (Idris Elba), John Rahway (Paul Walker), A.J.

Review:
First of all, this is a good movie. Could have it been better? Yes. This movie has a good story, but to make it better than a numerous movies with the same or similar story it  needed something more. Maybe more action, an A-list actors, director with more experience...I don't know. But there is something missing. Now, after reading this you must be wondering is this worth watching. Yes, it is. Because if you like a good old fashioned action movie you will enjoyed it.
