Awful, awful movie.... but i enjoyed it anyway

The first 20 minutes or so made me want to smash my head thru a brick wall, the setup-storyline was sooooo awful, there were a billion better ways to deal with the situation, and none of those idiots could think of them? That part annoyed me a LOT almost to the point where i turned the film off for shoddy writing. but i stuck to it, got interested in the characters a bit, into the suspense, and then i jus kinda ignored the shoddy writing and enjoyed it for what it was. id say a solid 6/10.

The way the police/FBI/criminals were handled in this movie was 100% unrealistic. I get it, its fiction, but they could atleast TRY y'know? other than that, quality film.

Where the **** are my hard-boiled eggs?

You do realize that it is called a work of "fiction" for a reason right?? Because its not real!!! Who wants to go watch a movie where everything plays out just like in real life. Maybe for a biopic or something..but not for a bank heist movie. Who wants to see a couple of guys rob a bank, sit in the bank for hours, talking back and forth with the negotiator only to have the SWAT team go in a neutralize the situation. That might work for a SWAT movie or something..but like they say on NFL Live on ESPN... C'mon Man!!!!
