is widely considered a subpar action thriller that fails to live up to its promising premise. Starring Nicolas Cage as Mike Chandler, an aging police officer just days from retirement, the film follows him and a young civilian ride-along, Kenny (Michael Rainey Jr.), as they are caught in a violent bank robbery. While it claims to be inspired by the real-life 1997 North Hollywood shootout, critics from The Hollywood Reporter and Variety note that it bears little resemblance to the actual event beyond the high volume of gunfire.
