Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Restoring the seductive style of the no-nonsense procedural heist movie to complete luster, this is the kind of pic that knows the difference between being masculine and being macho.
Contains The Scene, a precious sequence already destined for infinite repetition.
A sturdily diverting old fashioned heist thriller.
A movie which gets the job done as simply, efficiently and intelligently as possible.
