Achim Sperling’s review:
Well, first of all I don't think that Statham was the right choice. He's got 15 secs of Transporter like action at the very end and the rest of the time he seems to be at the ready but nothing happens. Don't get me wrong, I did not expect it to be like Transporter even though I've seen Death Race (nothing but action with Statham) only just before.
Second, the actual robbing was lasting for hours and could have telled in 20 minutes or less. Afterwards it's getting interesting and thats the part in which this movie raises from just one to three stars.
Finally it is an enjoyable film that could have been great but is not.
