Want to see a STUPID movie? This is for you!

I don't need to explain the premise of this movie, you can read that from the other comments. It sounds like a great idea for a movie and I'm sure it could become one if you used a new director, producer, and actors, and if you would write the script as things would happen in real life. What started as a good movie quickly went downhill and became a horrible movie. Once inside the bank everything changed. Screaming and cursing seemed to be the main dialog. Burt Reynolds had a chance to do some good acting but he had to follow a stupid script which made him look stupid. He's screaming at the robber, at fellow police officers, into the phone, etc. The only true to life moment was at the ending when one police officer on a roof finally did something that really would happen in this situation. All the other police actions in the movie were silly and inane. The scene showing the girl outside with a gun in her hand waving it at the police and press and no one shooting her was totally unbelievable. If you want to see a movie about some nutty teenager who screams, curses, and hurts people and we are told we should feel sorry for, then this is your movie. If you want to see poor directing and acting, not to mention poor sound quality, then this is also your movie. If you want a good action adventure then this is NOT your movie. A HORRIBLE piece of junk! Score it less than zero!
