Riders - Die Cops im Nacken
(2002)
Regisseur:
Gérard PirèsSchauspieler:
Stephen Dorff, Natasha Henstridge, Bruce Payne, Steven Berkoff, Clé BennettSlim (Stephen Dorff), Alex (Karen Cliche), Otis (Clé Bennett) und Frank (Steven McCarthy) sind eigentlich eher Adrenalinjunkies als Räuber, doch die vier jungen Freunde haben erkannt, dass man auf Rollerblades oder per Gleitschirm eben schneller zum oder vom Tatort eilen kann als ohne. Verfolger wie der verschlagene Cop Magruder (Bruce M. Payne) oder die smarte Detektivin Svenson (Natasha Henstridge) lassen sich nicht lange bitten, doch so richtiger Stress erwartet das Quartett erst, als man eines Tages Mafiageld erwischt.
"Bankraub ist ein Extremsport" heißt das Motto für die Helden dieser rasanten Neuauflage des Funsport-/Räuberkrimis "Gefährliche Brandung" aus der Werkstatt des profilierten Destrukteurs Gérard Pirès ("Taxi"). Dünne Story, pure Action.
An entrepreneurial criminal, Slim (Dorff) is as smart as they come. Cocky and confident, he assembles a team of risk-taking rush-seekers to pull off a series of five bank heists, each time using a different extreme sport to make the getaway. Following an unexpected windfall on only their second job, the gang nets $20 million in untraceable bonds. Having scored enough money to retire on, Slim and his crew decide to call the robbery game quits. But both the mob and the police have other plans in mind for Slim: they want him to keep working, for them.
