Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/racism/drugs/shooting

Queens, New York, 1982, 3 Months Earlier: briefly; Chris Potamitis [Liam Hemsworth:] is someone that wanted to make something out of his life like joining the NYPD, but He gets rejected for not having a clean record due to a incident at a Black Sabbath concert, some marijuana because of his friend Eddie [Michael Angarano:] he is always looking for the easy money and is trying to skate through life. But I digress Chris lands a security money transfer job at Empire New York Security, where Chris quickly learns that this apparent secure location isn't so secure after all as Chris now has NYPD Detective; Det. James Ransome [Dwayne Johnson:] he is very good at his job and his partner Det. Phil Johnson [Lucky Johnson/Kevin  'Lucky' Johnson:] they are on the case, but I should point this out it is more like Det. Ransome is on the case, his partner is there now and began.

The framework and pacing of this 94 minutes film is straightforward as it knows what it wants to do and consequently sticks to the plan [and on a quick side note I really don't have a lot to work with as it relates to this film, as you will see/read.]

Action: there are these robberies and guns being used and Eddie falling through the ceiling of Empire New York City Security.

Art: we have some real-life footage at the beginning and at the end of this film; in hindsight this is good.

Character developments and performances: on both counts they are perfectly serveable as in they stick to their character types and reflect that in their performances, there isn’t much more I can say about that really they are, what they are.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; don't get me wrong if you are a fan of Hemsworth or/and Johnson then take a look at this film, but be warned Johnson has a supporting role position, is not even a part-time supporting role, but I really wouldn't expect to much.
