About
If you want a fast, splashy heist thriller where the flood is the main obstacle, this delivers brisk action and tension; Not for you if you need realism, deep character drama, or a serious tone like Spy Game.
Pros: nonstop flood-set thrills; suspenseful chases; fun one-liners | Cons: far-fetched plot; thin characters; uneven tone
