very good movie period
There is only good action at the very end!!! This movie is so boring that I hardly notice when things start to pick up at the very end. This movie is sad too and dark and really boring!
Lots of action! To check out a possible source of information that went into the making of this movie see the video "North Hollywood Shootout - Best Cut" on YouTube. The North Hollywood Shootout was a real event that happened in California involving bank robbers. This movie is a lot like the real event.
Most entertaining - great acting -
The energy kept me going!
great movie, really enjoyed it! I'd see it again
Like good action.... but. I like Mel Brooks better. Last gun battle a total farce, in reality everyone in traffic would have been shot to death, sorry but the bullets would have pierced the cars, all of it. And there was an element of sleaze skeeve no-one liked it nearly smelled.
It has a clever heist and some tasty gun battles, but the "good guys" are just not likable. And some of the story elements seemed unnecessary. Waited for it to come out on VOD.
Slow going through the beginning of the movie then starts to be interesting towards the end.
I read some of the reviews posted here before seeing this movie, including the negative reviews. This movie was excellent! The characters were developed. The movie gave each major character a personality and each lived up to their's. The action was amazing, The firefight scenes were amazing as amazing as can be in a movie. And practically every major character was injured which you might expect in a gun battle where both semi and automatic weapons were used. Also, since L.A. is a big place, I liked how they used closed-caption to inform you of the location where events are taking place. The scenes transitions were flawless and made sense. Gerald Butler was outstanding in the role (cocky, bad__s, vulnerable). He is a polished actor. All of the cast did an excellent job. As for negative reviews regarding certain scenes, sometimes when an incident involves multiple agencies (even two different units from the same jurisdictions) there might be some confusion here or there. They learn from that to cooperate with one another in the future to make sure it doesn't happen again. The ending is not predictable. This is a big screen movie. I recommend that you go see for yourself.
