Lucas Vaughn' (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) works at the 'Swan Casino' owned by Mafia-Boss 'Francis ''Pope' Silva' (Robert De Niro)
'Luke's' young daughter is hospitalised, seriously ill and in need of expensive treatment, trouble is, 'Luke' has been unable to
keep up the Medical-Insurance payments, she may not be treated if he can't meet the costs.
Fellow employee 'Cox' (Dave Bautista) has plans to rob his employer but needs the knowledge that 'Luke' who has worked there
for many years has, 'Luke' initially is reluctant to take part despite his desperate needs.
He decides to approach his old friend and indeed employer for a loan to cover hospital-fee's but is told.....'no favours'
'Luke' agree's to take part in the Heist, but has his own ideas on how they should go about it......things seem to go to plan, however
security are alerted before they have time to get away, after an exchange of gunfire, they make a break for it, however, spooked by
the sound of gunfire their getaway driver takes off.
Being pursued by Casino-Security they hi-jack a bus, they now have hostages to bargain with....they are almost immediately pursued
by the police, 'Cox' is a loose-cannon and is perfectly willing to demonstrate that he will kill in order to escape whilst 'Luke' try's to
keep the passengers safe, he doesn't want a killing-spree, he'd only agreed to be a part of the robbery to save his daughter,
The bus is pursued by both the 'law' and 'Pope's' henchmen....'Pope' needs the money back, it's not just Casino-Money, its also 'Mob'
money which is laundered at the Casino.
'Luke' strikes up an understanding with one of the pursuing cops 'Kris' (Gina Carano) who has realized that 'Luke' is a steadying influence on-board the bus and wishes it's passengers no harm.
It becomes a tense affair as options become fewer for the robbers....can they avoid being either captured by the police or indeed being killed by 'Pope's' henchmen.
Well worth a spin, a cut above the average movie of this type....tense at times with some action/ fire-fight sequences......whether you buy
or indeed catch it on a movie-channel - it is worth a viewing
