- baka, baka, baka; would have been better if the robbery planning was shown and more time was spent building up to the robbery. The lead actress came across as [woman with loose morals], then as [woman with loose morals] with baggage, and finally as [woman with loose morals] with baggage and issues. None of us felt any compassion for any of the characters and were rooting for the movie to end or them to kill off the characters (the one bad guy takes a zillion bullets and forever to die on the screen, long after the moment is over and over and over again). You would have thought that SWAT teams with laser sights would have used them earlier to take out the bad guy with a head shot. Zero chemistry between the mother and the kid, between the mother and the bad guy, or between the bad guy and the kid. The cameo by Ice-T is hokey, it's a bit part and his character wasn't given enough screen time (he should have been part of the original crew), especially where he's hanging upside down, zipping through the center of a firefight with no bullet-proof jacket, firing a pair of sub-machine guns at everyone (can you say "eye is attracted movement, arms bring gun up to fire at movement"?)...
