What works : 1. Jason Statham : Intense Performance 2. Good...no excellent and innovative fights, great actionWhat doesn't : 1. Plot - They seem to have lost focus on the plot. Could have been so much better, intense, interesting. 2. Unrealistic - The movement of cash, comes goes comes again and how! You have to watch to and even then you wont believe it. 3. Not enough development/space for any other character. 4. Sophia Vergara had a guest appearance.Barely 5 minutes. Seriously guys! How could you?Overall, for Statham fan or action move fans. Decide what you are looking for before you decide to go.

This movie does revolve around the gambling addiction of the main character and there is a line where he helps a molested girlfriend. The first action scene is 40 minutes into the movie and at the end there are 2 more scenes. These scenes are very short and all combined makes this movie quite a struggle to get through.

Most people I've asked have a love - hate relationship with this movie. "It is a good movie but it is not a JS level type of movie". So when I've decided to finally see it, my expectations were rather low. Yet, this proved to be an amazing movie, maybe one of his best. Yes, it doesn't have the humor of Crank and he fights far less in this one, compared to his others. But it is a comedy with dark undertones and a moral in the story. It is  different. I can't say that it will leave you thinking for days  or hours  or even minutes  but it is not mindless action as some of his previous movies were.So yes, it is a fast paced action movie that is worth watching.
