    As indicated by another reviewer, this is a bad guys crew revenge flick that includes minor roles involving Lucy Liu and Elliot Gould. All up I give it a C-. Would not see it again or pay to rent it. If you are Blockbuster Total Access subscriber you might want to check it out and make an opinon for yourself,

    I heard Lucy Liu does an all-the-way striptease.

    A different spin on a heist caper/revenge drama. Entertaining, but nothing that hasn't been covered before.
