The film is adequately entertaining, and offers some thrills. The portrayals of relationships between characters are good, but can be enhanced. I was a little confused about who was who at first.

There are thousands of young filmmakers out there who have similar scripts which are all about sociopathic wish fulfilment without even a nod to...um...right and wrong. This one got made. Real money was put into this movie. So if you're interested in that. There is no real heist in this movie. That's what got us to watch it. Portray people realistically or make an emotional point. Again, this movie did neither for me.

Of all the crap we've had to deal with in Movies, since the Covid took over every aspect of our lives whether infected or Forced , Quality of movies has really suffered also. Actors are trying to work at a fevered pitch taking any role to make ends meet in the sense of an actor's ends. Independent films are always gems, best movies without all the Hoopla. This movie has a great cast, rising Frank Grillo, and always Good Melissa Leo give this film grit believable without going over the top- good actors can do this no matter what script they're giving, these 2 accomplished that. Forsythe is now pigeon holed so same acted as his last dozen films, Harnett is the headliner with a little bit of criminal sympathy is ok, Slaine is good as Bro n law trapped in criminal family as a Cop, Hublitz of Ozark fame is not very likable bout like her Ozark role same person. This movie has been seen or done a 100 times a 100 different ways but to say this movie is terrible is not true. The journey has its flaws but if u don't fancy yourself as a grade A critic it's very entertaining. I liked it very much and that's all I can ask for in today's Marvel Super Hero world that's contracting our good actors into playing Comic characters to unheard of $$$$ instead of acting in movies with teeth. That's the movie business now Loud unreal CGI wonders peddling to the 13 to 50yr olds, the latter which is still hooked on the Super Hero . This movie is Good not Great but watchable and much enjoyed by me. So give it a chance and leave your morals at the door watch it independently of comparison. Solid 7.

Great action movie. Keeps you interested and surprised how it stay unpredictable and full of suspense. Great cast and a fun movie to watch! The story is unpredictable and will have you guessing what is next- it does nor disappoint - highly recommend and enjoyed it!

Good cast + good performances + great cinematography + good direction + good soundtrack, but annoying and intrusive at times + great ending... but... weak, and weak script. This could've been a really great movie. But it's a solid, enjoyable piece. Definitely recommended.

I never heard of this movie before until I saw it on Amazon Prime, once I saw Frank Grillo was in it I was definitely going to watch it!! I loved him in all the other movies and he's definitely not hard on the eyes. There are other famous actors in this as well like William Forsythe and the actor in the series seven seconds (minutes) and Josh Hartnett. So with all of these actors I figured I give it a shot and I'm glad I did.

Underrated movie that was well acted and directed!! Thoroughly recommend it!! Hartnett did a good job always a good watch! Story was really interesting too!

Great movie. The first half alittle slow introducing the characters but was still good. Never a dull moment. The last half awesome crime action shoot out!. Frank Grillo is awesome in this movie playing a crazy the dance scene is amazing. . Josh was good but wish he was better. Melissa Leo was outstanding. If you like any of these actors it's a must see.

Ida Red (Melissa Leo) is sentenced to a long stretch behind bars after a heist went wrong. She learns that she has only months to live and is therefore determined to die as a free woman. The plot and storyline are straightforward but sometimes confusing. Confusing also as they cannot anticipate the magnitudes of their increasingly brutal actions. They are a bit stupid. The crime family is headed in her absence by nephew Dallas (Frank Grillo) and her son Wyatt (Josh Hartnett), who make their living holding up trucks on remote highways. "Ida Red" explains crime as a genetic issue. The problem with this family is that they are not really smart and actually quite bad at crime. Movie is fast paced with great action scenes. Great acting by Frank Grillo (Dallas) and Melissa Leo (Ida Red Walker). If you have the time and like these kind of heist movies, just watch. Frank Grillo is getting better and better with every movie.
