Story: When their attempt to rob a casino owned by the feared gangster Pope goes awry and a shootout ensues, Vaughn and Cox are forced to flee on foot and hijack city Bus 657 and take the passengers hostage.
Likes : This is a pretty solid cast for movie with a strong story that actually keep the film going, This is the story of Vaughn (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) who is in need of cash for his sick daughter. Faced with desperation he meets up with Cox (Dave Batista) who has a plan of stealing from their own casino boss Pope (Robert De Niro). It's not an elaborate plan, in fact this might just be one of the shortest operations on heist movie.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is brilliant for this role as he play the father on the brink of the edge as he struggle to raise money for his daughter surgery to save her life, Jeffrey performance come off very well as a loving father clearly experience with this role from playing the father role in supernatural, he a great actor well performed.
Robert niro playing the usual role as the gangster mob boss of a casino, the usual type of role he normally gets, but for his age this is a good solid role for him, less running around small scene, really come off good doing like the old day his use to play the mob boss, but less tone down with this film.
Dave batista getting alot of roles just lately becoming a pretty good actor, last film he was in the new bond film spectre, this time playing a main story character that ropes Morgen's character Vaughn in to doing a heist that dosent quite work out right the plan falls apart in to a high speed chase with a bus that remind you of the film speed.
Some of the stunt action in this film is pretty well done & well chronograph as some stunt scene involved with the speed bus, brilliant done but the stunt team to sell that scene, the story is pretty easy to follow along with Gina Carano looking beautiful as ever play the police officer the get involved in the chase, accord to cast list Kate Bosworth was in the film, didn't even realise but oh well, but if you a Robert De Niro & Jeffrey Dean Morgan fan you like this
Dislikes : Just a little short on the story, but the cast hold the film up with solid performances.
Overall : Great little film of sacrifice & love for family, worth checking out
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.6 out of 10 for story
