Very smart

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2008)

This is a very smart film. A robbery is in progress and police surround the robbers only now the robbers have to get out. Only thing is...who said about leaving; the film is full of twists and turns and creates a sense of belonging with some of the best heist movies out there.
Denzel shines as a cop who is dealing with corruption charges and a failing relationship and now he has to deal with a very clever robber. Clive Owen is brilliant as the scheming robber who has a moral fibre in his corrupt soul, he brilliantly hides the brilliance of the character hidden with stares and glares. The film keeps teasing the audience when they think they've got the story figured out; the end is a classic, it keeps the audience smiling and gasping.
