Confused... not by the movie...

Rating: 3/10 (30 March 2006)

I'm confused how so many people can call this movie "unpredictable." I have a spoiler for you, it's over two hours long and could have told me the whole movie and wasted less of my time in about 35mins. I walked out knowing only slightly more than what I saw in the previews. This is not because I didn't understand it, it's because nothing happened for an hour and a half... You can't spend 1.5 hours on character development, and 5 minutes on the climax and not tell the "Why" of the movie.. Withing 15 minutes, it was obvious the bank robbers had an agenda other than the money. Typical Spike Lee movie... Two hours of racial connotations, with a plot no where to be found. None of the important questions I had going into the movie were answered. It's disappointing to watch good actors do well with their roles, but be so limited by the story. Denzel, Clive, Foster, Dafoe all did great with their roles. The movie was just very disappointing.
