IMDb plot summary: The plot follows H, a cold and mysterious character working at a cash truck company responsible for moving hundreds of millions of dollars around Los Angeles each week.
Directed by Guy Ritchie. Starring Jason Statham, Holt McCallany, Josh Hartnett, and Rocci Williams.
The back story serves almost no useful purpose here. We spend a lot of time on it, and I think it's supposed to add emotional resonance to the film's third act, but it's mostly just unnecessarily complicated and redirects the story in kind of a strange place. The action sequences here are competent. I guess in the simplest terms, this is exactly what you'd expect from a Guy Ritchie/Jason Statham action thriller, so if that's something you already really love, this one will probably work for you. If that's not a particularly engaging combo (as it isn't for me), this isn't going to change your mind about it.
