2006 - Rated R - 2 hr 9 min
Director: Spike Lee
Starring: Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer, Willem Dafoe
A bank robbery where the money stays in the vault? Something's up. The premise behind this movie is heavy on the intrigue. Denzel vs Clive is an interesting battle to watch, with Jodie Foster interfering at all the wrong (or right?) moments.
This one's nothing extraordinary, but it's always nice to a see a movie with a predictable premise (i.e. a bank robbery with hostages) take a different route. That said, I don't think anyone here gives a standout performance nor is this a must-see. It's entertaining and intriguing, but a lot of the middle just drags. It could be great but to me it seems a bit unbalanced. Overall though, a good one to watch for something a little different.
