Very enjoyable fluff.

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2006)

Although I found it a little long, the performances of Denzel Washington and Clive Owen really make this film sing. Jodie Foster I was less crazy about- I had a hard time believing that she'd just keep on smiling no matter what potentially dangerous situation she was in.
The music and photography seem a throwback to the 70's, which I didn't mind. The plot punishes all the right people, and the screenplay is very smart.
The woman who played Denzel's fiancé seemed a bit of a fantasy figure, never really wanting anything but sex- but I didn't mind that!
And of course, Spike Lee's signature 'he's walking but he's not and I'm getting dizzy' shot is in the mix as well.
A fun romp if you're in the mood for a bank heist film.
