He should want his money on the street earning vigorish. There's a Chinese bookie that wants his money right away. This is just one example of the muddled motivations of the characters.

The film often feels like some insipid urban hip hop dance movie with predominantly lily white protagonists and parkour substituted for dance. The script brings entirely new dimensions to the concept of 'lame.' It might pull passing marks as a high school creative writing assignment if it were submitted on a day when the instructor was in a good mood, but fails miserably as a movie script. The parkour isn't nearly as well choreographed as the opening scene in 'Casino Royale' or most of the scenes in 'Banlieue B13,' and is often not credible because the characters make seemingly blind leaps on unfamiliar cityscapes, but the scenes are shown in a realistic manner and Taylor Lautner the other actors seem to do much of their own stunt work. 'Tracers' offers decent parkour action scenes and a better than average BMX action scene.
