Synopsis:

 

Needing extra cash, two brothers conspire to pull off the perfect, victimless crime. No guns, no violence, no problem. But when an accomplice ignores the rules and crosses the line, his actions trigger a series of events in which no one is left unscathed.

 

Brian's Rating: C- : I have seen worse.  I have seen better.  The movie follows a couple of desperate brothers as they attempt to rob their parents jewelry store and the aftermath from the decision.

I was bothered by the directing decision to split up the time line in a manner similar to Pulp Fiction, or Go.  However, it was cool in Pulp Fiction, where here it made me think it was a last ditch effort to attempt to cover up multiple plot holes, as well as forcibly inject some intrigue into a script that was downright mediocre.

It was not a complete waste of time, and served to be entertaining, but there are a barrel full of movies I would recommend above it.
 

Sebastian's Rating: B : it drags on a bit and fairy boring, all you needed to see was the first 15 minutes and the last.

However it was a good storyline and there was some good acting.

overall this movie wasnt bad, i would reccomened this to some people, and i probably would rent out later in the future.
