Slick is the word for this, but it's still just another Hollywood remake to cash in on latest batch of pop movie stars.

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 2002)

Everything about this jazzy heist film is generally enjoyable and waiting for the DVD release with it's assortment of extras made better sense to me than seeing this one with the suburban crowds. There's talent behind and in front of the camera and the script has enough pizzazz to keep even the shortest attention spans interested. The Julia Roberts character throws an unnecessary degree of schmaltz into the macho brew and weakened the piece quite a bit; of course, leaving out a sex interest for at least one of the boys would have been bad for box-office demigraphics. Relax and enjoy this wishful-thinking piece of fluff. It won't be difficult, and, by the way, it's way better than the campy old rat-pack potboiler it's based on.
