The movie is about three friends who set out to rob the Federal Reserve Bank. The brunette beauty was excited from the moment she read the script.

"I'm pumped. I loved it from the second I read it. I love interesting female characters, and this is full of them," Holmes said.

Holmes finds her character, Jackie,intriguing for several reasons.

"She's funny, she's smart and just a little bit misunderstood. She's involved in this crime, but she's sort of delighted to just be a part of something and have girlfriends for the first time. She's a type of person who creates a happier environment than she's actually in. ... I like that about her. She's a free spirit."
