A very good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was such a long time ago, I was quite eager to check it out again. First of all, I always had a weak spot for Spike Lee's work and I'm so glad he made recently a nice come-back with 'BlacKkKlansman'. However, during the previous 10 years, Lee really struggled and this movie was his last commercial and critical success.  Indeed, first of all, there was a really nice cast involved (Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer, Willem Dafoe, Chiwetel Ejiofor) and they all delivered some solid performances. Then, I always had a weak spot for heist movies and when they are well made like this one, they are pretty much irresistible and really entertaining. In fact, to be honest, the whole thing didn't feel like a Spike Lee feature but it was nice to see him trying something more commercial for once and it was pretty neat that I actually nailed it. Concerning the plot, well, there was a big twist but even though it seemed clever the first time I saw this movie, it didn't have such an impact the second time around so I guess it is not a movie that might require multiple re-watches. Anyway, to conclude, even if it might not be anything really groundbreaking, I really liked this flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
