The Real McCoy plot
"20 guards. 30 tons of steel. A security system second to none. They said there wasn't a man on Earth who could pull off a bank job like this. They were right."
Karen McCoy, the nation's biggest bank robber, is released from prison after six years. She wants to start a new life and stay on the right path. However, she cannot find work because no one wants to hire an ex-convict. In addition, it is her fervent wish to be reunited with her nine-year-old son. However, her ex-husband has told him that she is dead. Then she meets JT Barker, who is in league with Schmidt, a high-ranking boss in criminal circles. Schmidt and Karen are old acquaintances. She refused to work with him in the past, nor did she respond to his romantic advances. He retaliated for this and failed her latest bank robbery, which resulted in her being caught. They kidnap her son and so Schmidt forces Karen to work for him after all...

Well.
This 'action thriller' is entertaining.
But that's about all there is to say. Because the film never manages to impress or excel at anything. Despite the star cast.
Not bad, but very predictable and clichéd. So nothing new under the sun and very standard.
Average.

Reasonably entertaining heist film that, however, leaves little impression and will soon be forgotten. Everything is rather mediocre, especially the acting. From the bank robbery to the end it got a lot better, that's why a 3*

Mediocre film in which a bank robber gets out of prison after six years and wants to go straight. A rather standard story with standard characters and therefore a predictable course. Kim Basinger and Val Kilmer are perfectly cast together, but this could have been more. The second half of the movie with the big bank robbery is entertaining and therefore only 3.0 stars.
