Frankly, I thought I had already reviewed this but I had not. I hate when that happens because it leaves me feeling like I don't have anything to say about this movie. Which is stupid because I have something to say about damn near everything. Detective Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) is called out to negotiate with a bank robber (Clive Owen) holding hostages. Meanwhile, a high-priced fixer (Jodie Foster) has been hired by the bank's chairman (Christopher Plummer) to negotiate the retrieval of very sensitive items that were in a safety deposit box. Frazier has to navigate these shark-filled waters to get to the truth.
This is a very good heist movie, especially the first time. A lot of mysteries don't work once you know the trick so for a movie like this to be watchable multiple times, it needs to have something extra. There is a very sharp script handled by a wealth of impeccable actors. It's really a worthwhile watch.
