A group of thieves try to rob a Treasury Building located in Alabama. The only ones who are able to stop the thieves are a treasury agent (played by Maggie Grace), a meteorologist (played by Toby Kebbell), and a repairman (played by Ryan Kwanten). Despite a ton of plot twists, there really isn't a whole lot in terms of story. This is a movie I wasn't sure what to make of going into it. Neither Toby Kebbell nor Maggie Grace have ever been actors that I enjoyed watching on screen. They kind of worked for me in this, even with struggling with their southern accents. The effects are pretty bad. They never remotely look convincing. A lot of the character development feels pretty thin, and a lot of the time, when you do get it, it's actually pretty jarring. So, this isn't a good movie. At all. It works as something of a guilty pleasure, though. The movie was written in the 90s, and the script was just never produced. Watching this movie, it really did have a 90s feel. The best way I feel like I could describe this movie would be
The Rock meets
Twister. Based on description like that, you'll probably be able to guess whether or not this movie is going to be the right kind of stupid for you. I think it might be the right kind of movie to watch with friends while you toss back a few beers.
