Light-hearted, biographical crime film reconstructs the 58 armed robberies 'The Flying Bandit' Gilbert Galvan managed to commit in Canada in the 1980s. Galvan [Josh Duhamel] fled the US in 1985 and continued his career as a bank robber under the pseudonym Robert Whiteman. In between he meets Andrea [Elisha Cuthbert], with whom he starts a family and in Vancouver he strengthens ties with the local crime king Tommy Kay [Mel Gibson]. Nestol Carbonall and Swen Temmell play the cops who only see a chance to catch Gilbert in the act and be sure of a conviction by working together. Based on true facts, yet the screenplay does not contain enough surprises to really please genre connoisseurs. Duhamel and Carbonall are fortunately well cast and deliver excellent work.

Decent crime drama. The fact-based story is shown with a wink. In the beginning it takes some getting used to and biting through. Once it gets going it becomes an entertaining film and Ungar even provides some sympathy for the protagonist. The film contains almost no action and is more of a drama with some humor. Duhamel is comfortable in his role and the chemistry with Cuthbert is great. Funny is the accentuation of the somewhat crazy facts that take place in the film. Airy successful drama. 3.0/3.5

just a simple in-between movie that never gets exciting.
yet not really bored.
very small meaningless role for Mel Gibson who is/plays big boss of a criminal gang.
police team groping in the dark.
just entertainment, nothing more...
