A crime drama directed by Spike Lee, the DVD cover reveals the three leading characters - Detective Keith Frazier (played by Denzel Washington), Dalton Russell (Clive Owen) and Madeline White (Jodie Foster).
The plot follows a well-planned bank robbery in New York - but the thieves aren't trying to get any money.
What they want to do is to uncover the secrets of Arthur Case, the founder of the bank (Christopher Plummer).
The robbers take the bank's employees and customers hostage and ask them to wear uniforms and masks. The police cannot distinguish between robbers and hostages so they cannot shoot anyone.
I was attracted by the artwork on the DVD cover. Unfortunately, there is a big difference between the promise of the cover and the actual product.
I thought the movie was quite dull. The plot is great, but the movie shifts from the past to the present too often. This confuses the audience.
