New(ish) Spike Lee film. It's a corker.
I've never been that enamoured with Spike Lee. He does have a tendency to be a bit po-faced. But this new heist flick is really cool. I enjoyed it nearly as much as "Capote".
It's about a bank robbery where no money is stolen...which baffles cops. Clive Owen (who I've always loved) plays Mr. Big and Denzel Washington (really excellent here) plays the cop trying to get to the truth. Jodie Foster plays a kind of shady power-broker who has an interest in the truth not coming to light. Nice to see her playing a kind of a baddie for once. 4 stars out of 5. ;D
