During 115 minutes with a cast well lined up such as Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Aaron Paul, Clifton Collins Jr., Casey Affleck, Anthony Mackie, Norman Reedus, Chiwetel Ejiofor will reflect the worst of a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist. The only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for “officer down.” Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack, triggering a breakneck, action-packed finale filled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.

Corruption is the main subject with an intriguing story with the most interesting Russian mob matriarch played by Kate Winslet. The best element of the film is desperation for all the characters mainly the Russo-Jewish mafia. Some death sequences are full of gore style and definitely this film is full of duality in many shootouts and standoffs.

 Here are some members of the cast in press conference:

 Aaron Paul:“After 10 years, my experience is much better. My character is part of a great cast full of intense parts and humanized. Definitely this film will get your attention, my character is stealing with the others and is surrounded by bad souls and he has emotional struggle. Even there was a brotherhood in each character and in real life we like well each other and make jokes when we see us. There’s a part when I came back to life for the intense moments that all are involved. Many scenes were very emotional and intense.

 Norman Reedus:“The best part was when I prepared my character on the physical appearance with creative tattoos full of details. Is very  interesting when you have projects like these and have a great chance when you share with celebrities as Kate and directed by John who makes incredible films.
