It came as no surprise to discover that this movie grossed more in its domestic takings than it did n its international takings . ..Europeans tend to seek a glimmer of intelligence in their cinematic entertainment // The movie starts with a bunch of people whom we do not know and with whom we have zero connection shooting at another bunch of people whom we do not know either . The screen is filled with an image of a stranger firing a gun with a never ending supply of bullets ... we cut to an image of another stranger falling over riddled in bullets .. we then cut to another stranger firing another "magic " gun .. .cut again to another stranger falling over ..yes .. riddled with bullets .. etc etc . and then on we go with lame pointless dialogue scene after scene ,,, the initial verbal confrontation with the vegan cop is a prime example of the primitive script .. just in case we get confused the writers have one character say to the other "i do not like you " ... did you get that .. these guys are not friends . this is very poor movie making

I gotta be honest, I loved everything about this movie. It being in the heist genre caught my attention, along with Gerard and 50 cent in the cast. The opening scene is marvelous, it gives you a taste of what's in store for the rest of the film.This would be rated much higher if people weren't low-balling it with 1/10 scores, these people consider themselves "critics" and are stuck in nostalgia with the Michael Mann epic: Heat (1995). I have no idea who directed this movie, but they did a great job and admittedly I have watched it countless times. Sit back and enjoy, and please rate this movie what it really deserves.

It's ok, although I wanted it to have a little more drama. It seemed fake, some scenes. Like they had no characters with charisma and action with dynamics. Overall, it was decent. Not too much laughter I got, but it was ok. So the rating it's a 7, but maybe just because Gerald Butler and 50 Cent kind of lifted it up.

Detective Nick (Gerard Butler) knows that a robbery is going to happen but he doesn't know where and he convinces Donnie (O'Shea Jackson) one of bad guy Ray Merriman's (Pablo Schreiber) men to act as his inside man to reveal where the heist will go down. The movie opens saying that "Los Angeles is the robbery capital of the world and that a heist occurs every 48-minutes." None of this is verified so...............This appears like a run-of-the-mill robbery. There is a twist later on and then you see this was NOT a run-of-the-mill robbery. The title suggests that no one can be trusted. Who will be your pick?We see Det Nick's men trying to figure out Merriman's next move and why did he rob an armored truck that was empty. We also see Merriman scheming with his men how the next heist will go down. We see this back and forth many times. Merriman knows that Det Nick has been talking to Donnie and will use that to his advantage. We will see where the heist will take place and we will see very complicated and integrated procedures that make a heist impossible. There is a plot hole that if I mentioned it, I would give away too much. There are scenes of Levi's (50 Cent) daughter going out on a date and was given the TALK about caring for his daughter or else to the boy. Those scenes could have and should have been cut.Notables: Dawn Olivieri as Debbie, Nick's wife who is divorcing him; 50 Cent as Levi or Curtis and he is Merriman's right-hand man; Meadow Williams as Holly, a hooker who gives false information to Det Nick; Mario Cortez as SWAT negotiator.Keep the title in mind as this has to do with the twist. (7/10)Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: Yes, briefly in a dancing girl pole bar. Humor: Not really. Language: Yes. Rating: B
