No clean getaway.

Rating: 4/10 (11 February 2014)

First off, read the review by 'sissoed'; it has some very good arguments why this film really doesn't work, even if the points made about the faulty investigation cóuld be nullified simply because there are influential forces up high (via Case and White) that wanted the investigation literally, as said in the film, 'buried'. Beyond that, an influential man like Case could probably get some contract killers to 'get rid' of Frazier in a more or less inconspicuous way (as could White, probably) when he still decided to carry on. And points 2 and 3 by 'sissoed' are spot on; bad morality in the end and why would Frazier so gladly take that 'blood diamond' (I've read elsewhere that hé could have been an inside man, but I consider that to be nonsense)? I can understand the fact that White has less moral objections to working with Case, though. Another point: why would Case not have the particular safe registered something made up, something 'safe' (and even then, how would anyone find out about it if he was the only who knew about it?)... well, questions that raise more questions than anything else, I suppose.
Other than that: neat, but standard heist flick which, in plan, reminded me a little of 'Quick Change'... before you blindly go check that one out: it's a (great) caper with Bill Murray! The acting here is just fine and for a long time the story is rather intriguing, but it becomes more and more dull as we wait along with the negotiator. No, wait, the robbers. No, wait again... erm... who were we waiting for, exactly? And then it spirals out of control as described in paragraph one.
4 out of 10.
