The Miami-Dade Police Department Tactical Narcotics Team raids a stash house and uncovers millions in cartel cash. As outside forces close in, trust fractures within the team, as they suspect one another of being a mole plotting to steal the fortune. Joe Carnahan's past works range from mediocre (The Grey) to dismal (Copshop and Smokin' Aces). This dad movie, inspired by real events, is packed with his signature action and machismo. Violence erupts, alliances shift, and loyalties are tested, but I remained consistently bored and, at times, confused. The twisty script is not nearly as clever as it thinks.
