i reespect you and all . .. but what you said, you gave no real reasons. I am to believe that other films like Matrix and "I see dead people" do not plod on and on....watch it again, it is not that bad. At least no bad enought to say it is his worst work . .please..give me a REAl example of WHY it trods on...

Starts of strong with the riot, Affleck's buddy getting shanked, Ben hooking up with whatsherface, Gary Sinise showing up with badass Danny Trejo and forcing Affleck into the robbery. That's all well and good...but then after the first 20 minutes, the movie just gets totally aimless, people start doing things for no reasons that don't match what we initially thought of their characters, and nothing really of interest happens. "Themed" robbery films suck lately...look at "3,000 Miles To Graceland"...this one wasn't much better. I like Affleck. I like Sinise. Trejo rules all. But this movie was just a waste of them and everyone's time. Borrrrrrring...and that's the worst sin a "thriller" can commit.
