Not bad, but some of the delivery was really cheesy

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2007)

Overall, a pretty good story. Why we like to see bank robbers get away with the crime is interesting. This type of movie can be done over and over and you'll still want to watch it. The twist in this movie is one I haven't seen before, and drew me in to watch it when I was temped to let it go for better things to do.
Owen's performance was the highlight. I thought Denzel was good (his usual), but Foster's performance was a little uncomfortable, moreso to some of the horrible lines she had to deliver. I would have given it a seven if it weren't for that aspect of the movie.
I didn't realize until I was writing this review that Spike Lee was the director. That might explain some of the cheesy lines and nonsensical conversations.
