Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/references to Russia and/or the Soviet Union

I wouldn't waste my time watching this film if I was you [I am fully aware of the hypocritical nature of what I have just said:] briefly;  Keith Ripley [Morgan Freeman:] he is a veteran high standard of criminal that wants to pull off this highest, so he finds  Gabriel "Gabbie" Martin/other character [Antonio Banderas:] he is up-and-coming criminal, that still does big jobs but nothing compares to what Ripley offers him which is $20 million, I am sure nothing will go wrong.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 104 minutes film is straightforward [more you read of this content; the more you'll understand that in this particular case this may not be such a good thing.]

Action and art; yes we get the standard highest components; even though this is a standard kind of thing for this type of film the only action sequences but where mildly interesting where; we had our lead partnership working together slowly get through these red beams; if one gets broken it sets off the security alarm and then a little time later, they are working together to break into this vault; the art comes into effect when we get to see what Ripley sees using this fancy are equipment

Character developments, performances and comedy; on one hand they are paint by numbers character developments of the versions of what they are meant to be and performances reflect that, we even have this now and again comedy chemistry between Morgan and Banderas; which let's be completely honest; their lead partnership is meant to be the driving force behind this film/when I said driving force what I actually meant to say was; they are carrying it. Whilst on the other hand; I really couldn't care about the big reveal and that is as much as I can say; without giving too much away. I had really lost interest in this project; in fact I said to the person I watch some of this and with; and said something to the effect of "We have just seen, what we have just seen and I just couldn't be bothered about it."

This film receives: 3/10, this film is poor; if you have been around films or TV or content creating long enough; this will make perfect sense; you know when you're watching something that is not poor, but just insufferably boring. That is where I am with this film, that point where I only watched it a couple of days ago and it hasn't stayed in my memory either short-term or long-term it doesn't matter this film is literally pretty much forgettable; I mean if you Morgan or/and Banderas check out this film, but you may just want to keep in mind what I have said especially in this final section
