À propos de ce film

During a six-month stint inside a West Australian prison, rookie criminal JR (BRENTON THWAITES) meets the smart and enigmatic Brendan Lynch (EWAN McGREGOR). In exchange for protection on the inside, JR agrees to help Brendan get outside, hooking up with the influential Sam Lennox (JACEK KOMAN), hot-headed nephew Josh (TOM BUDGE) and his mysterious Eastern European girl Tasha (ALICIA VIKANDER). Becoming a father-like mentor to JR, Brendan convinces him to join on another high stakes job - robbing a Kalgoorlie gold mine. Operating on information from Sam, the team, including stunt driver Chris (NASH EDGERTON) Sterlo, and Josh attempt the impossible, busting into a super pit and stealing bars of gold just after they are poured. With millions of dollars and lives at stake, it’s hard to tell whom JR can trust, and whose side each player is actually on. And with his feelings for Tasha increasing, and his faith in Brendan decreasing, JR must figure out his next move… before its check, mate.

Notes et avis

This is definitely a decent Aussie crime thriller. Ewan McGregor gives a solid performance in it. He plays the character dangerous and nihilistic but with just enough swagger to make you like him. And there's enough twists and turns in the film to keep you interested. It's definitely not up there with Reservoir Dogs or Miller's Crossing King of New York etc. But like I said its decent it's worth a watch.

Story well done though predictable. McGregor carries the movie at times but overall it held my attention throughout.

This flick is easy and good morning noon and night . Go and taste that flick! You would want to eat that show again!Just do it up!
