An armored-truck robbery that ends in several deaths attracts the attention of Los Angeles cop Nick OāBrien (Gerard Butler) who has unconventional ways of hunting down violent criminals. After making a string of popular but cheap action thrillers, Butler turned to a project that seems to reflect someoneās deep admiration for Michael Mann, and Heat (1995) in particular. The writer-director tries to inject some depth into his story and characters, and ends the whole thing with a twist, but neither the script nor the visual style live up to expectations. Intense shootouts, though.
