     The next time you see the ‘ol Brinks truck parked at your local bank, can you be sure that your hard earned money is in safe hands? Matt Dillon heads an ensemble cast that includes Laurence Fishburne and Jean Reno in this thriller that once again tries the old “perfect crime” logic. Dillon and his crew plan on heisting over 40,000,000 greenbacks on one of their company’s highest risk days. But the team has a wildcard: a young Army vet who figures that on the one hand this money could help he and his brother to live a quality life; then again, he shudders at the thought of being caught. When the perfect plan starts to misfire all logic tells him to dash. But first he must break through a team of money-crazed, gun-wielding security guards. Certainly no blockbuster but slightly entertaining, nevertheless.
