Five guys are "selected" to participate in a big caper for their talents, No one seems to know who is sending them out but it might be Mr Nam.
They pull the heist but end up taking a female hostage with them. Upon their arrival they find their #1 smoldering ashes which leads to a discipline breakdown and questions of who knows what? This is where the film begins to flash backwards and forward giving us glimpses of the teams tie-ins and criminal history.
The film has used Reservoir Dogs as a big piece of inspiration as well as "The Usual Suspects". I found it tedious at times but enjoyable for the most parts as the remaining four characters have four distinct personalities and ways of dealing with the fortune they possess.
I'd give it a whopping 5 outta 10.
