Based On my Blu ray review here.
H (Jason Statham) is a new hire at an armored truck company. One with recent history of losing a truck full of cash and the two drivers in it, along with innocent bystanders.

Being a fan of Statham and to a lesser degree Ritchie, I picked up the BD when it first streeted. Still not UHD capable, so no comments upon the disc; but I agree with your assessment of the film. I have always had an affinity for crime dramas and thrillers and this film works well within those genres. Definitely recommended for fans of Statham & Ritchie.

I'm somewhat surprised by the lack of mention of Holt McCallany in the acting lineup. He's a great character actor and does not disappoint here. my 2 cents.
