dumb, forgettable, violent heist movie; Built from a grab bag of pieces borrowed from other heist movies but assembled in a way that makes little sense, this B movie has dull characters and an unhappy use of throat cancer survivor Val Kilmer
a movie bad enough for summer 2020 but far too unmemorable to actually serve as its mascot; Numbingly dumb and impersonally executed, you'd call it derivative if only it managed to steal anything worth using from the many movies it apes
"Paydirt" makes the formulaic tropes and situations fun; If you're into these types of movies where the criminals are the good guys, and the plot is thin and far-fetched, this one will be a more than decent way to kill 90 minutes
