Plot: In Atlanta, a crew of corrupt cops and career criminals consisting of Marcus Belmont (Anthony Mackie), Franco Rodriguez (Clifton Collins), and Gabe and Russell Welch (Aaron Paul and Norman Reedus) are blackmailed by the Russian Mob to rob a highly fortified bank in broad daylight. The leader of the crew is Terrell Thompkins (Chiwetel Ejiofor), an ex-special forces operator turned private sector. Unsatisfied with the job, Irina Vaslov (Kate Winslet), the head of the mob, kidnaps Terrell's family and forces him to rob a Special Forces safe house that contains secret government files. The crew must figure out a way to manufacture a 999, police code for officer down, to use as a g during their heist. When Marcus gets a new rookie partner, Chris Allen (Casey Affleck), the crew decides that he is the perfect target. But Chris survives the attack, and suspects the dirty cops. Meanwhile the police chief begins to track down the Russian Mob, and starts finding evidence of corruption among the cops. The pressure starts mounting and the crew begins to turn on each other and reveal dark secrets, leading up to a treacherous, action packed finale.
