A thief with a unique code of professional ethics is double-crossed by his crew and left for dead. Assuming a new disguise and forming an unlikely alliance with a woman on the inside, he looks to hijack the score of the crew's latest heist.
A broadly negative reception greeted this Statham vehicle, with the majority of critics finding it a generic, predictable heist thriller that squanders its star's action credentials. Jennifer Lopez drew the most interesting debate — some saw her performance as a genuine highlight and a welcome callback to her comic instincts, while others treated her presence as a distraction — and most critics agreed the film starts with some promise before losing steam on the way to a foregone conclusion.

“gets more predictable as it meanders toward its conclusion.”
