Love this movie

Nik can act. It's not a perfect movie by any means, there are some plot holes, like why such a highly elite team didn't shut down or block out the cameras in the bank (maybe they said they were hidden? I may have missed that.) or why when the police arrive they don't immediately take the wounded office and the ride along away before engaging the bank robbers. Anyway, Nik plays a cop nearing retirement, grumpy from age and experience, yet a blue collar somewhat awkward guy and he hits the mark perfectly. Some movies call for him to be an eccentric over the top bad guy and he plays that role perfectly, sometimes he's a fish out of water hero, nails those too, yet here he's just a blue collar, run of the mill guy, who's thrust into the middle of a very bad situation and is flying by the seat of his pants, not knowing exactly what to do, not the confident hero, but simply reacting from the heart. He nails the role perfectly. Any other actor in this movie and it would be a dud, but in true form he makes any movie enjoyable. To me the movie went very quick.
