“Fuze,” is an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) thriller that doubles a heist flick. You’ve got ticking devices, sweaty foreheads, bad decisions being made under impossible deadlines, sparkly diamonds, and stacks of cash. Efficient, rousing, and intermittently thrilling, “Fuze” is also instantaneously forgettable.
