Weak story

Rating: 6/10 (19 April 2006)

If this movie had been as meticulously planned as the bank robbery it describes, perhaps it could be a good movie. However the intricate plot it tries to tell us, has some obscure or less well explained aspects beginning by the motives and personality of the robbers. The first part of the movie is convincing in terms of action and situations and the dialogues are lively and witty. But from the moment where the character of the president (and owner) of the stormed bank begins to define itself in terms of his past guilty actions, the story becomes banal and ends in a very uninteresting and meaningless way. The performance of such good players like Denzel Washington and Jodie Foster is about good and that's all.
