Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2011)

The movie contrasted the relationships between bank robber Doug Macray and his group against his growing feelings for Claire Keesey, the bank manager, and his attempts to outwit FBI agent Frawley. The plot was well executed even if it was a little predictable. Ben Afleck gave a great performance as the conflicted Macray while wearing the second hat of director. The character was fed up with his life as it was and wanted to improve it, but didn't have much incentive.
The idea that Claire could fall for him was a stretch but was convincingly justified because he was there when she needed someone. The action scenes were engaging. Just when the bank robbers seemed to have their backs against the wall something happened to change the situation. Blake Lively showed her acting skills in her portrayal of an addicted ex-girlfriend that was still not over Doug. There were a few unexpected twists, one being the scene where he was talking to Claire on the phone about meeting with her. It was her response that I didn't expect. His friendship with Coughlin led me to believe the film would end differently. It was a very entertaining film.
