In an ensemble film about easy money, greed, manipulation and bad driving, a Las Vegas casino tycoon entertains his wealthiest high rollers -- a group that will bet on anything -- by pitting six ordinary people against each other in a wild dash for $2 million jammed into a locker hundreds of miles away. The tycoon and his wealthy friends monitor each racer's every move to keep track of their favorites. The only rule in this race is that there are no rules.

Reviews
Given the ensemble talent involved, and the director, this should've been so much better. I did manage to laugh a few times here and there but otherwise never quite worked. **2.75/5**
Very funny and interesting. There waiting for grand dad to kick the bucket. Before he dies he sets up a quest for them to have a race. He gives them clues and they have to be the first person to figure it out and get to him first. Whoever is the first on wins his estate. It's a race, it's a race!
