Five years ago, this sprawling heist movie/crime drama came out to mixed reviews and solid box office.  At the time of release, many dismissed it as a knock-off the 1995 classic Heat.....which it is somewhat is.  But since then, it has garnered quite a cult following on cable and streaming for that VERY reason: it's a fun, engaging knock-off of Heat. :) And it features a nutso leading performance from Gerald Butler playing Big Nick, the dirty cop to end all dirty cops - he's on the trail of a proficient gang of bank robbers lead by ex-military, ex-con Merriman played by Pablo Schreiber.  Also included among the cast are Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and O'Shea Jackson in this twisty action thriller directed by Christian Gudegast.
