I was robbed

Rating: 3/10 (5 November 2006)

The reason for this bank heist became so preposterous as it unfolded that the movie eventually just became boring. You agree to a "willing suspension of disbelief" when you go to a movie, but still within it's own rules the film must have some kind of logic. I certainly couldn't accept that this robbery could take place or for the reasons way Spike Lee would have us belief it did. I was looking at my watch a good half-hour before the show ended. The acting ranged from unexceptional to awful and the cinematography was much the same. Some of the lines in this movie actually made me cringe. Jodie Foster's role was arbitrary and pointless. I confess that I have never been much of a Spike Lee fan and this only cements that opinion. Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon . . . now that was a good bank robbery movie.
