desperate man, foolish plan

Warning: Spoilers
i really wanted to enjoy this movie. it started out with a nice premise and as it unspooled, it just ended up a bungled mess of celluloid on the floor. when i found out the lead was actually involved in a bank heist, i became very interested until the actual robbery was revealed. that is what took all of the air out of this tire. what was the lead really thinking? he helps criminals rob a bank that he works at and attempts to take half the money instead of the agreed upon 5%. his plan is that he will disappear while the bad guys get caught. what?????? first of all, if they are apprehended, don't you think that they would be happy to implicate this idiot to gain revenge? and what was this lead truly thinking? the minute the robbery is committed, he and his fellow employee vanish with the loot. oh yeah. he's gonna take a plane to somewhere and will never get caught. just move to a secret place with his photo and description plastered all over the media. with a wife and kid in tow. yeah. right. sorry......i know the guy was in over his head financially, but that does not mean he could pull off something so thin and flimsy. plus on top of everything else he never thought to have several escape routes just in case so he gets........lost. wonderful, i guess there would have been no story if he had actually used his head. bah
