Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   B+ Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Eleanor Ringel Gillespie "Lee goes Hollywood with style and a sparkling cast." more... B   Boston Globe Wesley Morris "...probably Lee's most purely enjoyable movie..." more... A- Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "Here is a thriller that's curiously reluctant to get to the payoff, and when it does, we see why..." more... B- Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "...this one's a Spike-for-hire affair, a case of a flashy director juicing up a first-time screenwriter's efforts." more... B- E! Online "It's intense fun that never slows down or takes the easy way out, making it one of the coolest films of the year so far." more... A   Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum "Everyone's complicated in this jam-packed, spring-loaded contraption, everyone's sneaky, compromised, clever, nervous, mouthy, opinionated, and New Yorky." more... A- filmcritic.com Chris Barsanti "Just because Lee doesn't have a specific axe to grind here, however, doesn't mean this is a film without edge." more... A- Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "Energetically paced and acted crime thriller could be Spike Lee's breakout film for mainstream audiences." more... A   New York Post Lou Lumenick "...a crackling, twisty thriller..." more... B   New York Times Manohla Dargis "...works because it takes a familiar setup -- in this case, a Wall Street bank heist that mutates into a hostage crisis -- and twists it ever so slightly." more... B+ ReelViews James Berardinelli "It's watchable and occasionally compelling, but it will not stand out as one of 2006's great motion pictures." more... B   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "Washington has the kind of star quality other actors would die for: unfakeable cool." more... B   San Francisco Chronicle Ruthe Stein "It takes nothing away from Owen's and Foster's performances to say that Washington dominates the movie." more... A- Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...a fairly routine heist drama and a never especially believable puzzle film." more... C+ USA Today Claudia Puig "...an unorthodox heist movie, engaging the mind as well as pumping the adrenaline." more... A- * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
