    This one had been on the "watch" list for a while, mostly because it was one of the few De Niro films that I had not seen. The first half of the movie was actually fairly interesting. The story begins with a bunch of strangers being assembled to pull of a job. They do not know who their employers are and they do not know anything about their mission other than they are supposed to capture a briefcase.

    The first half of the film is rather intriguing because the characters are trying to fit together and the story begins to unfold. The second half of the movie is a glorified car chase and all of the intrigue is removed from the story. The director tries to bring home some of the themes at the end of the movie but it just doesn't work. It almost felt like someone started with a good movie and then spliced in the end of "Blue Brothers". I can't remember the last time I saw a movie that was missing a plot.
