Good entertainment with many good performances, but basically escapist entertainment.

Rating: 7/10 (25 March 2006)

Assuming that you saw the trailer, everyone knows that bank robbers take hostages, and somehow the bank robbers dress up the hostages to look like themselves.
The movie is entertaining and fun to watch. I most enjoyed the supporting characters --people like the individual hostages, and the detective's wife. All these little roles made the movie better.
The main story is about how are the robbers going to get away with it, and there are some clever twists, that are pretty satisfying.
My main objection and why this is not a GREAT picture is that it is only a cops & robbers movie that is done for fun. It is not about any greater theme. The movie is fun to watch, but other movies are fun too. That makes it seven stars.
