As heist films go, this isn't at all bad. Spike Lee and Denzel Washington's "Det. Frazier" keep the drama going and although quite few, the twists do keep you guessing. Jodie Foster and Christopher Plummer appear sparingly, but they contribute quite substantially to the rather more evil and interesting sub-plot - despite the presence of the unusually stolid Clive Owen whose role as "Russell" is pivotal to the accruing sense of peril and cleverly planned mischief. This movie touches upon social and religious mores a little, though I wouldn't say this was Lee at his most political - and this all adds to an enjoyable multi-layered story. A good watch.
