The start of the movie makes you feel like you have entered a confusing place somewhere in the middle of the story.
The most unimpressive point of the film is that there is actually a list of tips on how to rob a bank, one of them being: Always have a plan.

Jenkins peppers this simple yet still fuzzy plot with banter whose potential for wit is sidelined by its delivery.....For a hip commercial and music-video director, Andrews Jenkins is oddly behind the curve and out of step in his feature directorial debut, subtitled....Christensen has never convincingly inhabited any role, and the other players are little more than caricatures..... ...

The DVD includes two very short featurettes on characters and story.

Technically, the movie is glossy without being effective.
The scenes outside the vault fail to build any excitement.
