My Comment:
This movie was similar like The Town (2010), about bank robbery action by a tight brotherhood relationship. The story was pretty much the same, so I got bored and felt like giving up watching it. I feel that this movie was too exaggerated. The only good thing is that the actresses played this movie very well and we could see and tell easily which one is who because of their character's personalities.
