Bus 657

Not bad. I kind of like these Emmett/Furla action films, and they always get released in China. If you're unsure of what type of film I mean, just think of any Bruce Willis or Keanu Reeves action film of the last few years. They're not always good, but I can enjoy a bad Emmett/Furla action film more than a bad Hollywood studio-produced CGI crap-fest. I mean, sure, this is badly written and the main twist can be seen a mile off, but I didn't have a bad time watching this film. It has a known cast; Robert De Niro, Jeff Dean Morgan, Kate Bosworth, Dave Bautista, Gina Carano, and I know none of them are high-profile anymore, but I enjoyed having them all in this film.

The thread title needs a year to differentiate it from the David Mamet film with Gene Hackman.

Don't you have the powers to do this? The thread title could also just be called Bus 657.

OK, I added the year, I wasn't sure if that was necessary. Since it should only have one title I thought Heist which it's filed under on wiki was the better choice, but I made sure to mention Bus 657 in the description.

I did not even realise it was a 2015 film. I need to update my 2017 yearly list.

And you can just write (2015), no need for (2015 film).

This has some really good moments but the actual heist is pretty bad and the very final confrontation between Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Robert De Niro is hilarious. I didn't find acting from any of the actors good here as well. As an action movie it tries to emulate Heist in a Speed like scenario but mostly fails. De Niro is really bad in here but JDM and Dave Bautista (who should have been there till the finale) do well. Kate Bosworth, Morris Chestnut and Gina Carano are wasted in here.
