Backtrace (2018, Sylvester Stallone, Matthew Modine)

In dodgy action thriller Backtrace, the lone surviving thief of a violent armored car robbery, having lost his memory during a shootout, is sprung from a high security facility and administered an experimental drug that should restore his memory and in the process lead both him and the crew who broke him out to the $20 million dollar he had stashed from the robbery.

What starts out as an interesting concept very quickly descends into a b-gradedom mishmash of bad acting, complete with terrible ending.
