A gang pull of a well planned heist on an armoured truck and grab a huge sack of cash. They then realise that the roads are blocked and the cops are looking for them. So they cleverly stash the cash with a families camping gear on the roof of their car. Now all they need to do is wait for the family to stop and retrieve the cash. Simples! Well not quite as after displaying a lot of smarts they begin to do the most idiotic attention drawing things to get the cash back. Such as trying to run the family off the road when a cop car is behind them and making lots of noise smashing up a hotel where the family take refuge. They trundle from one insane mis-adventure to the next eventually ending up half dead and getting their asses kicked by a real estate Ninja who even with half a hand, after his fingers are chopped off by one of the bad guys, is a match for hardened criminals. His family too seem to have special forces training as they hunker down behind a bulletproof wooden table in an old shack and cause all sorts of grief to these formerly intelligent criminals. The first 5 or 10 minutes were decent but the rest is awful and we are asked to believe that this criminal gang would be so stupid after displaying such a lot of sense. Even by Hollywood standards this is one dumb bunch of idiots. The acting is OK but the whole premise falls flat on it's ass as soon as the bad guys start re-enacting Duel. A decent idea but a truly hopeless film.
