DETECTIVE Denzel Washington pits himself against bank robber Clive Owen following the robbery of a Manhattan bank but things aren't as they seem.

There was a considerable amount of talent involved in this film, from the main leads to the director Spike Lee and cinematographer Matthew Libatique and it shows.

It works as a thriller, action film or drama.

Coming straight out of the brain of one of Hollywood's more gifted directors it is one of the better films of the last 12 months.
