Great disappointment (Possible spoilers)

Rating: 4/10 (9 March 2002)

How can a movie that cost so much money and included so many stars be so disappointing?
Although the movie is not entirely bad and would make a nice viewing at home on a rainy Sunday afternoon, after so much hype it should have delivered much, much more than it did.
On the down side, the movie took almost an hour to get going, almost making me lose interest completely. Then, yes, the actual robbery was cleverly worked out and quite cool. But what is it with this Hollywood need to include some love interest and happy romantic endings? This is a film that had great potential, but ended up being no more than "good guys outwit bad guy" plus "good guy gets the girl".
On the plus side, Andy Garcia was great, the only character you could really side with, as was Elliot Gould who stole the show every second he was on screen. All in all, not as entertaining as it was hyped to be.
