3/10
Wow, this is so laughably bad from every aspect.

Warning: Spoilers
I can't think of any film I've seen that's had worse editing than this mess. Some scenes cut in and out so randomly you'd think the film was spliced and joined blindfolded. You then have producer, editor, writer and director Asif Akbar that couldn't get even any other part of this film right. The directing is so laughable in some scenes, I actually feel bad for Cerrone; when he's driving the transport, it's clearly and so obvious he's not, and it's a green screen outside of the make-shift cab.

But even worse, when Cerrone is driving the red SUV, his hands are constantly rocking the steering wheel back and forth so fast and so much, you won't be able to hold back your laughs. Then the SUV randomly loses control and Akbar has the drivers bail from a moving vehicle that simply just rolls to a stop on it's own, no cliff, ditch, water or any other reason to have them bail out of the SUV, except when it goes over a small sand bump, which sounds and looks like a Hot Wheels toy car. We couldn't stop replaying that scene and laughing so hard.

Even funnier, Akbar clearly got his rough-diamond look playing Minecraft, because un-mined diamonds are not found in such colorful glass-looking rocks like they showed in the film. Guess he forgot to Google what rough diamonds look like.

Then we get this nonsense convoluted, cliched and predictable writing with logic-defying moments, such as burying an entire military base arsenal inventory under a horse stall, or trusting 50M worth of diamonds to be delivered by only one person and his brother, without having your own crew and/or added security following them for protection. There's just so many more plot holes in the writing you will get a workout with the cringing and eyerolls.

Don't get me started on the cheesy dialogue, long dragged out and mostly unnecessary scenes, terrible sound, loud and overbearing score, shaky-hand camera shots, and so on and so on. Akbar couldn't even direct his cast properly, as the only person that was somewhat convincing in their character was Rampage Jackson, because everyone else came across like this was their first acting job, even Cerrone.

This is one of the worst films I've ever seen, and it's so bad, it's actually entertainingly funny and should be listed as a comedy. I'd skip this one for sure, unless you're drinking and blazing with a group of friends and want to laugh non stop.
