The whole atmosphere and feeling of the movie is very reminiscent of Miami Vice and Michael Mann has done a good job of combining thrilling story with exciting action and atmospheric sound track. Both Al Pacino and are brilliant in there opposing roles Al Pacino playing a cop on the edge and --- playing a bad guy who at first seems to have it all under control. The bank heist scene Is the highlight of the film and with a 5.1 surround system on loud volume you are luck to get out of the front room without getting shot! You are left somewhat shell shocked as the scene progresses without music, just gratuitous gunfire and panicked screams. Overall the film has a good feeling to it and is a must on DVD even if only for the bank heist scene.
