Interesting concept ruined by inability to add and an awful ending

Rating: 3/10 (8 September 2006)

Interesting concept of a bank robbery as cover for something else. Denzel decent as usual but character is shallow. Defoe nicely acted, as usual in this case, for a decent paycheck. Foster as the fixer - she must have been unhappy with the final edit as I trust most of her lines were on the editing floor. Christopher Plummer as the bank Chariman is not old enough to be believable. This is 61 years since the end of WWII and he was suppose to be a big banking wheel in Germany during the war so he had to be at least 35-40 then given the hierarchy at the time. Therefore he would have to be 95-100 years old in this movie. Granted he looks old but not that old!!!! Finally the ending was not an ending. Spike is an OK director but please don't try to be something you are not and give us some ending that leaves us guessing. In this case guessing if the movie is over or my DVD was defective.
