When the staff of a high rise residence in downtown New York find out that all of there savings have been invested into a ponzi scheme, the group decides to get the money back by taking matters into their own hands.  I was expecting more from this movie with the all star cast that was assembled, but it seemed like some of the characters did not fit.  The most out of place, T`ea Leone as a not very believable FBI agent.  Despite a few missed castings this movie was entertaining enough to keep my attention, just not great.

IMDB rating: 6.3 out of 10  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0471042/
