I watched the French original (spoilers)
As some of you may know, this movie is a remake of the 2004 French movie “Le Convoyeur”, which I watched the other day. The basic premise is the same, but there are significant differences:
- The protagonist is a regular guy whose young son was killed during an armed car robbery. He infiltrates the security company to try to track down the killers (as in the remake) but he is not a one-man army who is also the leader of a different gang of robbers. He does stop one robbery (committed by a different gang, not the one he's after), but more out of luck than by going all Jason Statham on the criminals.
- We don’t know anything about the gang of robbers. We don’t know their names and we don’t even see their faces, as they only appear during the robberies, with their masks on. There are no scenes of them socializing or planning the big heist.
- There is no confrontation after the final heist between the hero and the one robber who got away (and who was the killer). All the robbers die during the heist. The protagonist is injured and gets away, but dies soon after.
