You just have to get tired of this kind of movies

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2006)

It's nothing new. You get a bunch of first class actors, or at least having famous names, then you get a classic plot, you change the twist, you bag the money. It's simpler than robbing a bank, because it's legal. But it should be outlawed, that's for certain.
The movie is not bad. The direction is obviously good, the budget appropriate, the acting excellent. It's the plot that makes it all crap. And the end moral, about punishing the people that benefited from the Holocaust? That makes me sick. I am sure that event payed itself with interest just from the clichÃ© movies that came out of it. And those last scenes, just after a short critique on the exaggeration of racial issues in America, with a cop twisting his tongue to say "african American". And it's a Spike Lee movie. He could have found a black people massacre to reference, or was it a requirement from the producers? Bleah!
Conclusion: very average bank robery movie, with a rather boring beginning, and a tired old twist, reminiscent of the 60 movies.
