I enjoyed the movie. I recorded it and had to go back over the ending a couple of times.
Denzel did a good job playing the sleazy detective with a dated pencil mustache.
Jody Foster is such a good actor that you wish she had a bigger role. She has all those moves that make her performances seem so real. With just the narrowing of her eyes and firming up her mouth she tells you she's irritated. No loud exclamations, no bulging eyes. Just simple indications.
It was pretty obvious why the robbers dressed the hostage in painter's clothing like theirs. Spike, who is a fairly competent director goofed here. He gave away some of the cleverness of the ending. He should have waited to change the hostages clothing until the hostages were let go. I knew too early what was in store with the hostages. Spike Lee forgets about the little nuances and busyness and his movies suffer for it.He needs an assistant to pick up all the little details that make a good movie into a better one.
