For two of the greatest actors who have played both heroes and villains, an epic movie was bound for the big screen.  As the movie unfolds into a hostage negotiation we are fed bits and pieces about the character’s questionable judgments. The plot development set the movie on the right track. And then the first hour passed.

By the middle of the movie all twists and turns could be foreseen and the movie took a dramatic turn. As hostage negotiations ensue, some silly events take place. A rat bites a S.W.A.T team sniper which causes him to lose that nerve he spent so much time training for and pulls the trigger. A hostage has his computer linked to his girlfriend who demands he proclaim his love for her as gun wielding thugs walk by without noticing.

The chases are similar to those of any good movie and the real twist at the end is the fact that there is no real twist. However, if you are looking for an enjoyable two hours to sit back and relax this movie will do just that. The acting by the main charachters is captivating and the major fault lies in the plot.
