Immensely enjoyable caper with sympathetics kids

A young girl(Kristen Stewart) and her two teen friends pull off a bank heist for obtaining the cash needed for the operating of her ill daddy(Sam Robards)where her mild-mannered mummy(Jennifer Beals) works as security agent.They encounter complications with a humorous and botchers pair agents(James LeGros)in a robbery developed with imposing tension and intrigue,it's of course the highlight and great climax movie.Thus during the burgle the teens confront perils and risks as high-tech systems,vigilance dogs and she will raise a vault suspended many feet above ground(similar to Tom Cruise in Mission impossible)with the aim to take million dollars from the safe.

The picture displays comedy,action,good humor and continuous entertainment.Besides chases karts galore with impressive velocities and pursuits by polices cars.The film is a crossover of ¨Topkapi¨caper,¨Ocean's eleven¨heist pirouette and ¨Italian job¨races but wrapped an adolescent style.the picture contains a lively and jolly music by George S. Clinton.The movie is regularly directed by Bart Freudlich and turns out to be a remake of a Danish hit smash.It's a great stuff for schoolboys of all ages though especially for kids and teenagers.
