SPOILERS
The law of averages would say you've seen quite a few films of this type before you arrive at this one, but it really doesn't matter one bit. Although not perfect, it does enough to keep the crime-caper cynics at bay (the two-very-attractive-blonde-sisters routine probably being the reason for that, but who cares?).
The plot attempts to be so devious and double-crossing that I half-expected Naomi Watts' character to step up out of the wheelchair at any moment (a la 'The Usual Suspects' - or maybe not!).
The way the backstory of the main characters are uncovered along the way, and the manner in which they are somehow interlinked works very well, I thought, and I was very impressed with the ending aswell (although not altogether unusual for this type of film!).
