The crew consists of two weapons experts named Baxter and Mitchell, a technical expert named Griffin, and the brothers Frank and Joe. They were told to take a metal case from a bank safe and deliver it to Rex for his client. They would receive $500K for this, which would be divided equally among them. The gang did manage to break into the bank, crack the safe, and steal the valuable case, but someone raised the alarm and called the cops.
The police ambush the crew and begin firing openly. After a fierce battle, the crew splits up, each man for himself. Even though they do manage to flee the scene with the metal case, Frank is rendered unconscious after someone breaks the back of his skull. He awakens after ten minutes to discover his brother dead and the metal case missing.
A bewildered Rex unleashes his assassin, Ivory, to retrieve the case and kill every one of the suspects. Meanwhile, Frank reaches out to Joe’s girlfriend Claire, played by Meadow Williams, as Joe had requested him to take care of her should anything happen to him. With Ivory closing in on them, Claire was in danger as well. Frank then heads on to track down each of the gang members to kill the one who betrayed them and avenge his brother. Frank, however, ends up killing each one of them after torrential confrontations and shootouts.

2. Why did Claire Kill Joe?

Because she didn’t think it was worth the trouble to split the $500K after delivering the case. And Joe insisted that it be split equally between all the crew members. She had all the information on the heist as the crew discussed their plan in her bar. As the crew prepped up for the big day, she made her own strategy to get hold of the case and deliver it herself, for she was aware that whoever delivers it gets the full amount.
So on the day of the heist, she sets off the alarm right after the crew breaks into the bank, and tips off the police over a phone call, pretending to be a bank employee. When Frank and Joe manage to escape through the alleyway, Claire is the one who knocks Frank unconscious. She demands that Joe hand over the briefcase to her, or she’d kill Frank. While complying, Joe tries to reason with her to no avail. When he reaches out for his gun, Claire shoots him and leaves with the case.
In retrospect, it all makes sense to Frank—the reason Claire kills the patient at the criminal doctor’s clinic at the hotel, why she keeps following Frank, and especially when he instructs her not to. Right after Claire recounts the story of her deeds, Ivory springs back up and shoots Claire. She was wearing a bulletproof vest which explains why she was curled up after being shot, probably to conceal her non-wounds.
