If a robber & found money are staring you in the face, whose side are you on? Do the right thing, take that trauma, survive, & watch as no one gets to cash in that winning ticket... Or go along w/the robber, take that trauma, survive, & split the winnings... The moral gray area looks pretty damn good from the situation, b/c the cop stops the robbery by shooting the victim, not the thief. The victim dies instantly, but the cop gets shot in the shoulder; not the neck as it appears. Enter the cops, corrupt father, & his merry band of thieves... It's a damn good film, reminds me of The Lookout (2007), w/Joseph Gordon Levitt.
Angus was brilliant, & the film is dedicated to him. I immediately cared about the characters & none of them were all around wholesome. As the characters begin to discuss cashing in the ticket, it becomes imperative that the lotto commission isn't going to ask questions. Shady characters aren't going to pass muster & collect $156 million from the Cali Lottery. Human nature in these previous reviews seems to escape ppl. I'm guessing ppl never watched the Shield or any movie w/dirty cops. I saw a lot of disbelief, like it's science fiction or something. I detect a touch of misogyny as if this woman is supposed to be brain dead, b/c of her occupation & cops are some sort of infallible freaking geniuses. I read the news about ppl killing their own parents for less money, though. The films believable & a certified thriller, if you actually enjoy films.
The men are intent on double crossing each other, but once the final girl is all in; she's rock solid. I don't know why this so distasteful to other reviewers, but I enjoyed this. It's not a gimmicky movie.
