After eagerly awaiting the release of this DVD I found it frustrating and disappointing. Danny DeVito frequently loses me when he crosses the line between comedy and unfunny violence. This movie got off to a good start -- I liked the camaraderie of the "gang" and, as always, Gene Hackman held my interest from the start. About halfway through the film it suddenly felt as if a different hand was doing the writing and directing -- characters started acting out of character, the plot became riddled with loopholes, and toward the end of the film a lot of completely unnecessary violence took over where the plot left off. What had started out as an "Ocean's 11" type heist film, with classy actors and tension relieved by humor, became a sort of "Die Hard Meets Rambo". Yes, the twist at the end was clever, but also completely expected. The characters behaved in ways that made no sense at all based on their previous history, so at the end I felt like saying "What the heck?" and feeling I had just wasted a couple hours of my time. If you want a movie with some good twists, get "Sleuth" instead.
