It’s been five years since Gerard Butler’s boozy LA detective met his match in a group of ex-MARSOC Marines planning to rob the Federal Reserve. The dirtbag riff on Michael Mann’s Heat was a critical bomb but a surprise box office hit, grossing $80.5 million against a production budget of $30 million. A sequel was quickly greenlit, with writer-director Christian Gudegast returning at the helm, and Butler back to lead the cast alongside O’Shea Jackson Jr and Meadow Williams.
