Story:
A man named Tripp is caught in the middle of two simultaneous robberies at a bank. One crew is more professional (Gates, Darrien & Weinstein), the other crew consists of two men who call themselves Peanut Butter and Jelly. Tripp desperately tries to protect teller Kaitlin with whom he is secretly in love. When a man is found murdered, the two crews deny any involvement which causes Tripp to believe they are all getting ambushed by a higher power. Both crews, Tripp, and the hostages all try to stay alive on their own terms.

During the robbery, a FBI agent was shot by Weinstein. To find out the truth, Tripp try to solve the reason and lead out a lot of mysteries behind the truth. Seems like Mitchell (the security system advisor) has sold out the upgrading security system time (this time the bank will be out of security system protection) to Weinstein but Peanut Butter & Jelly just happened to come and rob at the same time. Being silly and clueless how to rob a bank professionally, they pissed off Darrien and Weinstein almost killed Jelly (just shot his earlobe). When things get even messy after Weinstein and Mitchell was found to shot each other to death in a room & the swiss miss (a hot lady who work as a swiss bank spy) was killed too. Darrien fed up with this and try to burn down the gold storage but accidentally burn himself to death.

Later on, Tripp & Kaitlin found out a night mask in the gent's toilet and set a trip to catch the Vercallious Drum who they believe will kill all the hostages after he got the money. After switching off the light, the gunshooting started and Gates was killed. The lights on and everyone discovered Gordon (The banker) is actually Vercallious Drum, all the others shot him although he offered money to share with them. After that, they offered Peanut Butter & Jelly the money so that they can left.

The movie ended when the police officers help to send all hostages out, including Kaitlin & her wedding gift. But Kaitlin found Tripp inside her car and discover her deep secret. Seems like Kaitlin is Alexis Black, the criminal of robbery (ranked top 4 in the FBI's side) and all her wedding gifts are full of cash (Alexis put all the money in when the lights are off). Tripp & Kaitlin both fall in love with each other and decided to share the money together.

I can't stop myself but give lots of credits to the script writer & producers of this film :) The whole storyline is damn complicated yet i find it so interesting and fun to watch. Of course the acting of Dempsey & Judd is not to be doubt, but i quite like Matt Ryan. He's so cute and his slang is absolutely sexy :) Love this Welsh actor a lot~
