Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2006)

This is an excellent Heist flick, that's really entertaining and quite powerful, with a top notch story and amazing performances!. All the characters are excellent, and the ending was so clever and very well done, plus Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster are all simply amazing in this!. I am very glad I went to the theater and watched this, however you gotta pay pretty strict attention, because the ending may confuse some people, plus Clive Owen was just so ruthless as the villain, as he was very smart. It's often quite gripping, and Denzel added some great humor to the film as well, plus while I thought the scene where Clive Owen makes everybody undress to there underwear quite shocking and somewhat powerful, it was a little unnecessary. It's extremely well made and nicely written, and while I'm not that familiar with Spike Lee I will definitely be checking out more of his work after this excellent film, plus I wish they gave Jodie Foster more screen time though, because she is one of the best in my opinion.
I think everyone should go watch this in the theater, and there are lots of shocking and disturbing moments as well, plus it kept me guessing throughout the film. Christopher Plummer is also excellent in his role, and plays a big part of the film. I also thought the scene where Clive takes all the cellphones, ans this guy tries to lie about his Cell, and says he left it at home, as that was really quite tense, plus I loved the score as well. This is an excellent Hiest flick, that's really entertaining and quite powerful, with a top notch story and amazing performances, and I say it's a must see for everyone!.
The Direction is fantastic!. Spike Lee does a fantastic job here with wonderful camera work, really good angles giving the film a great atmosphere, using good settings and keeping the film at a very engrossing pace.
The Acting is amazing!. Denzel Washington is amazing as always and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, added some great humor had a few really cool scenes with Clive Owen, played a really cool character,and played a Cop that I would want at my sides at all times, he was one of the main reasons the movie was so enjoyable for me! (Denzel Rules!!!!!!!). Clive Owen is also amazing here, he is simply chilling as the villain,as he was so ruthless but incredibly smart and charismatic, as what he did at the end shocked me, I thought he was amazing! (Clive Rules!!!). Jodie Foster is also amazing as always and is amazing, while she didn't have much screen time she was amazing when on, as she had a really great character,I also loved the scene with her and Clive Owen talking about negotiations in the bank, I just wished she had more screen time. Christopher Plummer is fantastic here, and while he too Doesen't have a whole lot of screen time he was a very important character in this film. Willem Dafoe has a small role as the Capt. and made the most out of it, he was great. Chiwetel Ejiofor is good as Denzel's partner I liked him. Rest of the cast do fine.
Overall a must see for everyone!. ****1/2 out of 5
