Quite possibly the best thriller to date

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2010)

One of the most imaginative movies ever. Five thief's, called into a line up only to be released by lack of evidence, only to start on a trail of the famed Kaiser Souse'. This movie held every aspect of who done it to the extreme, with characters made up from a character to cover a path from the police and the FBI. The use of a story within a story was sheer genius, throwing everyone off in the theatre for a loop. When this first was shown, no one in the theatre was prepared for the climax at the end for which it will be long remembered in the vaults of great classics. Gabriel Byrne played a perfect ex corrupt cop who is to be the corner stone to Kaiser's plans. And using Baldwin, Del Toro, and Pollack was also Fantastic. A group of men joined together with Spacey who was the real architect in creating the perfect hit squad. This movie held every flavor of deceit, corruption, a kind of camaraderie between each character for which even Kaiser himself admired. All in all one of the most important films to date. A remarkable achievement in misaligned and off the track clue finding, to revealing the real villain. Chazz Palminterri was excellent as Agent Kulyon. As well as Pete Postelwaith as the famed Kobayashi. Truly a film for all thriller buffs.
