Morgan Freeman rarely puts a foot wrong, but this film just didn't work for me. Freeman teams up with Antonio Banderas to rob some Faberge Eggs from a Russian Museum in New York City. Another convoluted plot that has some nice surprises this crime flick was average at best. Mimi Leder has only directed one decent film in her career (Deep Impact) and this wasn't it. Distinctly lacking in tension one of the few highlights was Radha Mitchell in her underwear and a small role from Robert Forster. Tom Hardy also pops up in possibly the tinniest and most pointless role he has had to date. Freeman deserves much better than this and although Banderas was decent the film was a real let-down.

What a staggering waste of talent. I only watched this as it's in Tom Hardy's filmography and he only appears for about 30 seconds.

Morgan Freeman, but that's about it. A lifeless, overly obvious and inconsistent movie. There were so many plot holes and stupid/wrong uses of technology, it was barely watchable.

With such a great set of actors in it, even Tom Hardy is in this thing, it is not very good with the twist at the end which is seen at the very beginning of what will happen to this film and where it will go. It is a fun film that will keep you entertained for the hour and thirty five minutes minus credits.
