...Themsche had shaved his head just days before his shooting spree. But a note later recovered from his home by police suggests that his racist politics was more deeply rooted. His father had been a founding member of the Vlaams Blok, the anti-immigration, Flemish separatist party renamed Vlaams Belang, or Flemish Interest, in 2004 in a bid to broaden its appeal.

As in Heist, we begin with a wisecracking crew getting ready to take down a cache of jewels--"Just say no to blow, kids," quips ringleader Nick (Andre Braugher) as he blasts open a vault. But the game quickly gets heavy, and the story more gripping: along the way, Nick's crew finds and steals a pile of cash that turns out to belong to the Chinese Mafia. Revenge is sought, friends turn on each other, and people...
