The plot: Rory and Cobby are unlikely partners thrown together for a heist. However, when it goes awry, they team up to outrun police, backward bureaucrats, and a vengeful crime boss.
I was looking forward to this film.
This movie was alright.
Pros: Matt Damon and Casey Affleck had great chemistry together. The story was paint-by-numbles that worked for me. Hong Chau did well what the film led her do and Doug Liman did well with his directing.
Cons: I wasn’t thrilled by the action in my opinion. Ron Perlman was worst in this movie. The bosses aren’t that memorable and There’s not that much robbing happening with too much relying on Daman / Affleck chemistry to help carry the film.
