After assuming his dead cellmate's identity to get with his girlfriend (Charlize Theron), an ex-con (Ben Affleck) finds himself the reluctant participant in a casino heist.
On top of the excellent Ben Affleck, we get Danny Trejo (before his big break), and Gary Sinise as hard core as he has ever been. This may be his finest role (with all due respect to Lieutenant Dan). All around some fine roles and casting.
The film also has more than a few twists and turns. Who is working for who? Is anyone who they really claim to be? You will never know until the final shot...
As far as Affleck Christmas movies go, this is probably the best. Sure, "Surviving Christmas" has its moments, but what a bunch of junk compared to this action flick.
