An independent ambulance crew discovers $1mil sewed into the jacket of a crash victim who dies on the way to the hospital. So... why not keep it? The film then proceeds to tell us, in great detail, exactly why you should not do that as the participants have to deal with suspicious co-workers, ICE agents, an insane mob enforcer, along with their own personal demons and levels of greed. Masterfully constructed, the film maintains a level of seriousness, humor and realism despite reaching a level of absurdity that's quite impressive. Excellent entertainment!

A genre cocktail, mixing Scorsese-light material excess with reversal of fortune drama and high stakes, sexy con man noir. But it works... largely in part to solid performances from Jurdi as an amiable anti-hero, Clark as an irresistible femme fetale straight out of a 1950's Orson Welles crime yarn, and Lowe in a hipster wig and a welcome return to the kind of raspy voiced, cool as ice villains he perfected in such comedies as "Tommy Boy" and "Wayne's World." Wish Burt had more of a presence here though, but just happy to see him in something legit. The film also feels a bit out of the '90's, even late '80's style of action comedy which is a bit over the top but never the less welcome entertainment.
