> About trusting a prankster for a risky job. It was so much better than I anticipated, but the end ruined my party. It was the right time I saw it, because I haven't seen any heist films recently. It was not like any genuine heist theme, but still I kind of enjoyed it for being a slightly different, especially the first two acts. It is about the two cops, actually they're part of the police department, but from a different division. When they discover a huge illegal money belonging to a cartel gang after going through the police file, they plan to hit it and disappear forever. But as the title indicates, the trust is what lacks between them. In the third act, the pace picks up rapidly and brings a twist in the tale before the credits begin to roll. Two wonderful main characters with a decent story, but I don't know about the cast. I kind of felt there was a vast age gap between them, like an old man teaming up with a teenager. Obviously worst chemistry, but that's the point, if you understand the title very well. Both the characters were completely opposite, like one was a very confident person, but a prankster and the other guy were a hopeless, but serious about everything. Just like a wolf and a sheep together planning to rob a farmer. When it was going good, like I said the conclusion spoilt the overall product. Other than that it is an okay film. 5/10

Has one or two laughs in the first half and one or two moments of genuine tension in the second half, aaaaaand that's about it. A very understated movie to have gotten both Elija Wood and Nic Cage. Just one of them (especially if it was Cage) and I might have expected something like this, but was surprised given the presence of both. He still gets a freakout in of course, but not a whole lot, like... Happened. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

Nicolas Cage ("Stone") and Elijah Wood ("Waters") team up quite well in this rather enjoyable and quirky crime caper. Both are Las Vegas evidence room cops whose careers are going nowhere fast. Until, that is, the former spots a curious bail receipt that leads them to start investigating just what might be hidden in the most innocuous of locations. Armed with some surprising information, they decide to find out just what is actually in an erstwhile secret vault. Their really quite scientific antics are helped enormously by some decent, quick-witted, banter between the two and the whole plot remains unpredictable right the way to the conclusion which does makes it worth a watch eventually. Yep, that is one of it's snags. It does take way too long to get up and running, and at times it does elicit a "get on with it" sigh. Unfortunately, too, the ending is rather hurried - which is a shame because an on-form Cage particularly, but Wood too - don't really get a chance to finish this off anywhere near as entertainingly as it deserved. Passes ninety minutes effortlessly enough, though - but I doubt you will recall it afterwards.
