This willy-nilly robbery film suffers from a preponderance of coincidences, as criminally bad acting and dependence on stunt power. Hoping for that elusive big score, minor crooks Billy Ray Lee (Jonny Yong Bosch) and Guile Lydon (Jason Narvy) unsuccessfully pursue a case of stolen diamonds by skateboard, plane and flatbed truck. While trying to boost a car, the thieves stumble upon an abandoned warehouse that serves as crime kingpin Michael's (Michael Hexum) gang headquarters. Inside, hacker Santiago (Danny Stallcup) follows Michael's orders to illegally transfer corporate funds into Michael's Swiss bank accounts. Unbeknownst to the curious Guile and Billy Ray, federal authorities have the warehouse under surveillance, and after the boys make off with a book containing bank codes, agent Kim (Motoko Nagino) poses as a bargirl to make their acquaintance. Worming her way into their confidence, Kim takes advantage of Guile and Billy Lee's designs on Michael's money. But Michael has no intention of sharing the wealth and is royally ticked off by the small-timers' effrontery. To make his point, Michael kidnaps and tortures Guile. Billy Ray, who's way out of his criminal league, has no idea that he's not the only pawn in this financial scam: Michael's partner is Kim's corrupt superior officer, Christopher (George Kee Cheung), who, inevitably, insists that she turn over that bank-code book. As the stakes in the computerized theft grown deadlier, Billy Ray has his hands full trying to rescue both Guile but Kim. Be grateful for the film's spectacular mid-air and desert terrain stunts; without them this film would be rough going. The plot takes several graceless tumbles, and the director isn't nearly as dexterous as his supple actors. --Robert Pardi
