wow! wow! wow!

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2006)

After the initial scene, I felt it went to too busy and swirling for my taste (took off my glasses so it looked very distant) and thought, oh no, am I watching a dud! I'm not into high action without purpose as so many movies seem to be. Once the scenes moved on, I embraced the story. My first impression was so wrong. The "wow" happened. The cast meshed and put in a performance worth my theater dollar. So much packed into this movie with innuendoes, twists and unexpected laughs. The perfect bank heist? Maybe. Maybe not. (I'm not telling) If you liked the unexpected turns in "Runaway Jury", then this is a must see. Yep, I have to compare so as not to give anything away.
This is a movie to discuss and discuss and discuss afterwards. Attend with a friend. So glad I made the effort to take a friend. Our after movie coffee lasted 2 1/2 hours.
