Summary: Matt Dillon plays a cop who is obsessed with his job. A crew of robbers with Idris Elba, Hayden Christensen, Paul Walker, Jay Hernandez, Michael Ealy, and Chris Brown are surprised by a former crew member who went to prison because of a job went bad in Ghost, played by TI. Ghost was also the former lover of Lily, played by Zoe Saldana, who is now the fiancee of Jake, played by Ealy. The crew just pulled off a successful job, but Ghost wants them to pull off another job in a short amount of time, and the tensions run very high along with the prize.
Review: The movie has a loaded cast, but the chemistry wasn't always there. The plot did get cliche at times and there just wasn't a whole lot of twists that were actual surprises. The explosives and guns made this movie pretty interesting, but it wasn't really deep in terms of plot.
Further Question/Philosophy/Theme: Can forgiveness ever be given as Ghost reminds us all. How deep does loyalty have to run and what constitutes as a betrayal.
Power Rating (Out of 5) 3: At times this movie got cliche. Even though it had a star-studded cast, they didn't all seem to mesh well at times. It was satisfactory because of the awesome actions scenes, but this movie could have done more with less star status, and more character development.
