Liam Hemsworth, the one that was banging Miley and wasn't Thor, stars in this movie based on a true story.
Liam is an unemployed aspiring cop who is very down on his luck. He gets a job with a shitty security company, and devises a plan to steal the money there. He stupidly involves his "friend" Eddie, playing VERY well by Michael Angarano. Obviously the law gets involved, which puts a detective played by The Rock, on their tail.
This movie was both good and bad. Some of the performances were excellent like Eddie, Liam's first partner, his father, and a few other smaller roles played by competent character actors.
The Rock's was surprisingly meh. Not because of him, but because his character was badly written and had no back story.
In fact, the only back story given in the movie is to Liam's character. Everyone else just exists as a part of his story.
It's an interesting film to see because it is based on a true story, and because they actually show the real life guy at the end. However, your satisfaction with the film itself will vary. Personally, I think it helped that I expected the movie to suck. So take that for what it's worth.
