Quite possibly the perfect crime

Rating: 8/10 (15 October 2014)

Is it possible to pull off the perfect crime? According to this movie, directed by Spike Lee, it is. The movie opens with a man, Dalton Russell(Clive Owen) in what appears to be a cell explaining how he created and executed the perfect crime and begins to describe it. A group of masked figures with assault weapons enters the bank and holds everyone inside hostage, and police swarm the area. From here on out the movie intertwines the events of the bank robbery, and flash forwards to the police interrogating all the witnesses. This is important because in the end it turns out that when everything is over, no money was stolen, no robbers apprehended, and their weapons turned out to be plastic. This peaks the interest of the head investigator, Keith Frazier(Denzel Washington). He decides to investigate the bank owner even further. What does he find out? You have to watch the movie to find that out.
