Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This tough, tight genre picture draws strength from an ensemble cast of major stars and might-have-beens.
An Iraq War veteran (Columbus Short) returns home to find money's too tight to mention and his younger brother going off the rails. All the same he has grave doubts about his colleague Matt Dillon's heist scheme at the security company they work for: their team is going to steal a $42m payload and make it look like they got jacked. "Nobody gets hurt – I promise," says Dillon (on good form), at which point you set your watch for something to go horribly wrong inside the next 20 minutes. The internecine calamity that ensues is nicely paced by Nimród Antal – great name– and played with full-grimace intensity by Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno, Skeet Ulrich and, the single phoner in the performances, Fred Ward. A safe bet for a DVD night.
