The Plot…

Russell Pierce, an armored car driver nearing retirement, cannot wait to finish his day.  He’s got dinner plans with his wife for a celebration.  When Russell learns his driving partner for the day is the crazy rookie, Travis Stolly, Russell hopes for an easy route.

But that’s not to be.

Instead their given a long drive through a radio dead zone.  And they’ll be carrying millions.

Of course as soon as they hit the dead zone, a trio of well armed thieves make their move.

Russell is going to be a little late.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

I was hoping for better.  But I have to say Keke Palmer is easy on the eyes.
