This is a formula movie where three guys stumble upon some loot ($4 million) and decide to keep quiet and split it. Of course complications arise, and in order to keep things covered up from others, things get messy. Crimes are committed. The person who left the money behind (a criminal) comes looking for it. But there are so many improbable turns in this movie, my head was spinning. I kept thinking "this character wouldn't do that" or "that character would be a fool to try this". Overall, a big disappointment, despite the excellent cast.
