Plot and Execution
The story follows James and Casey transporting a suspicious package when their truck is ambushed by Rook and his crew. The ensuing confrontation focuses on the tension between the robbers trying to break in and the father-son duo working to survive. Despite a promising premise, the plot suffers from pacing issues, with some sequences feeling unnecessarily drawn out. Critics noted a lack of urgency in the heist dynamics, making parts of the movie feel less engaging than intended.
