"Term Life"

Vince Vaughn can actually act. Who knew? This is the first film I've seen of his where he's not playing a nutty character in a screwball comedy. Here he plays a guy who implausibly plots heists, then hires criminals to do the job for him. He's a negligent and absent dad, who takes out a huge life insurance policy on himself, so his daughter will be taken care of after he's gone. But he has to live long enough for it to be valid. When he robs a vault that contains evidence against dirty cops along with some significant cash, both drug lord and a bevy of corrupt police are after him. The movie contains enough over-the-top action scenes to keep a fairly predictable plot moving along. Not a bad way to kill an hour and a half. 

3 out of 5 stars
