Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and middling reviews (40% on Rotten Tomatoes), it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime-drama fans, anyone who likes to be kept guessing and action fans. If you loved Baby Driver or The Town, start here.
The mood: Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 28 min.
What might put you off: Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

A crew of officers at an armored transport security firm risk their lives when they embark on the ultimate heist against their own company. Armed with a seemingly fool-proof plan, the men plan on making off with a fortune with harm to none. But when an unexpected witness interferes, the plan quickly unravels and all bets are off.
