The film opens with some banker looking fellow overlooking what I assume is his assistant on a laptop. The laptop screen shows a bank transfer that is going through all the while she (the assistant) is mashing the keyboard in a random fashion for no reason whatever. They even close up on her hands working on the computer and she somehow even manages to hit the spaces between the keyboard buttons while she is doing her supposed work.

Also what is going on with these bank robbers. They go into the bank with their masks only to take them off a minute later and after everyone has seen their faces they put their masks back on. Yeah, I don't think that's how they work.

Also worth a mention in this film is some of the most wooden acting you will ever come across in movie.

edit:

Got through the movie and I have to say it's just one silly and stupid scene after another. I am happy to say they managed to include the mandatory Nicolas Cage freakout in this. I was wondering how and if they were going to pull it off since he plays a somewhat mild mannered almost retired patrol officer. Never fear, though, freak out he does per his usual his style.

Apart from the beginning of the film there are several scenes that make you laugh:

The wife of a cop, whom has just been shot rushes to the hospital. She appears in the ER and immediately as the elevator doors opens there is an open doorless room in front of the elevator where they are operating her husband in what I suppose is supposed to be a sterile environment and she just runs in there and they are like no biggie.

The ambulance staff who seem to be in no rush in delivering said shot cop to the hospital. First they leisurely wait around with him bleeding out in the back of the ambulance and then they show the ambulance staff leisurely rolling him to ER.

The surgeons and doctors are just chilling and relaxing and twiddling their thumbs in the TV room when there is a mass shooting and terrorist explosion going on and the hero nurse has to remind them to get ready because of said acts.

The seasoned SWAT team leaders finds a bomb in the pocket of one of the hostages and what does he do. Does he throw it way like a sensible person. No. He takes it and starts running all like "Look at me! Look at me! I'm doing it! I'm doing i......KABOOM"

Casting Director: "Hey, kid, we'd like to offer you a role in our movie."

Unknown Actor: (to himself: Oh my god! After ten years working tables and doing a million casting calls, this is my shot!) "That's awesome! Who did you cast as the lead?"

Casting Director: "Uhh. Nic Cage."

Unknown Actor: "You motherf...!"

Nic Cage, who will star in any picture as long as it's got a good craft services table with an open bar.

He has joined John Cusack, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal in that category. Believe it or not, but Jim Carrey has recently joined the club as well. Check out his latest film "Dark Crimes".....or more accurately don't check it out because it sucks! I'm not sure how they keep finding funding for these made in eastern europe movies. I would imagine DVD sales don't make that much cash anymore either since Netflix and other similar services have taken the content online.

An action movie where the plot is absolutely secondary to the shootings. I also noticed in the beginning, the young lady presses keys at random while the computer shows a graphical screen. Absurd! trained soldiers, plan actions, study a robbery, fire a thousand shots and in the end ... go out and get killed. But what's the point? It seems they didn't know how to finish the film. A lot of useless violence just to make the film grim
