Stars jason statham, who specializes in playing the bad guy. Here, he's a cop, who comes back from suspension to help negotiate with bank robbers. Co-stars ryan phillippe and wesley snipes. Lorenzo (snipes) and his gang take hostages and bust up the bank, but it looks like nothing was taken....what really happened here? Lots of twists and turns. Written and directed by tony giglio. The notes say this went right to home video, due to drama and difficulties negotiating the rights. It's ironic that the film about a police negotiator wasn't able to negotiate the film rights. Gotta say, lots of factual, editing, and timing errors in this. It's entertaining, but lack of a proper editing budget may have been the real cause of it going straight to video. Worth watching, but it deserved a bigger budget. Or something.
