Blah...

Rating: 4/10 (28 March 2006)

Well, I was looking forward to seeing this film since I am a fan of Clive Owen's work, and well... the whoever wrote this script... wow. This has to be the worst written film I've seen in a while. I'm tired of seeing racism portrayed, while being racist. When the cop pulls of a mask of a guy and see's he has dark skin he goes OH MY GOD ITS A F'N ARAB!!! And he's taken down/beat up. Yes, this can possibly happen, but I highly doubt they would.
And how about the "video game violence"? Ooo video games cause people to be gangsta killa's eh? Too many points were trying to be shown, and they were shown very poorly.
I was highly disappointed with this film because the fact that it's been advertised as having huge twists and turns, and there's hardly anything at all to make your mind freak out.... just a mindless heist film with a poor script.
Oh yeah! Denzel Washington is in this movie... playing the exact same role as he is in every movie! The crazy black guy who doesn't take anything from everybody! Why is he so critically acclaimed?
