Movie Synopsis
Charlie (Mark Wahlberg) He could have spent the rest of his life with the box of gold returned from the robbery, but the betrayal of his accomplice Steve (Edward Norton) made him mess up. Steve not only swallowed a huge sum of money and fled to Los Angeles, but also made Charlie suffer from prison.
Charlie, who is now out of prison, is full of ambition to find Steve to settle the score.

However, to their surprise, escape was not so simple-Steve didn’t drive to catch up, he used a helicopter , chasing after them.
