Rating: 1/10 (2 April 2006)

I was really looking forward to this movie, having heard so many good things about it. The first 15 mins set of at awesome speed, then it almost grinds to a halt, the story is dragged out and the film is VERY confusing, leaving things unexplained, and having very inappropriate funny scenes. Living in Glasgow Scotland, iam not sure how the race issues are in the united states, but spike lee almost shoves them down your throat in this, and places very OBVIOUS token race stereotypical characters in their supposed rightful places. Someone else mentioned it on the IMDb review of this film, why the hell were they digging that hole, maybe I just missed it, but its the simple things like this that were NOT explained. The film is so slow in parts, you are left with nothing to do, but guess the inevitable escape route of Clive owen's character, the big twists people spoke of just never happened, and the film ends so abruptly its almost insulting! I had SO many questions about this movie it just failed to answer, I have to say the heist movie has been done 10 times better than this, with lesser known actors, William Dafoe was playing a roll the tea boy could have played, he is 1 of Hollywood's best, and so under used in this its laughable. A spike lee joint, he should be put in the joint for this dross! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
