El plan maestro

Why the low score? Vastly underrated on all accounts.

A fast pace with intelligent discourse and low key excellent acting, intriguingly complex characters and a plot than unravels perhaps too close for some peoples comfort.

Anyone with a genuine interest of well produced, clever, politically inclined police-thrillers and a generally solid judgment would rate this film significantly higher than its current received score.

The word "conspiracy" even mentioned in the real world triggers emotional fears and cognitive programming enough to blocks people from logic and from following genuine evidence. Perhaps films that picture the conspiracies in a realistic way run the risk of revealing reality without its mask of sanity?

Watch and enjoy!

...don't understand where all the hate is coming from for this movie. you want to watch a bad and stupid action heist movie?...then watch "heist". "heist got almost a full star higher rating here on IMDb and i couldn't even finish it...it was that bad. ...i'm a fan of good movies...i watch independents and art-house movies more then the blockbusters. pus i've watched most of the black and white classics. i'm just a fan of good movies.

that's why i can't understand the hate from the reviewers here and thats why i voted it a 7 out of 10. it's more like a 6.5 tho.

this movie could've been great tho...instead of just very good...but all in all it had me riveted to the screen for its duration. my only gripe was the movie should've been over 2 hours so the nitpickers will shut up about how convoluted and not well told it was. movies require you to use your brain sometimes...this was one of them.

all in all a very good watch if you are an action movie fan and just a enjoyable watch. another big bonus for me which others didn't like as much...the constant rain in the movie. it rained thru-out the whole movie just about...yayyyy.

solid solid action thriller revenge style flick...an atrocity that this movie gets a rating of 5.4 here on IMDb while clunkers like "heist" gets a much higher rating.

Not clear 7 ,maybe 6.8 but definitely not 5.4 Why so many bad reviews? Some 2...4 really guys? Come on ,what expectations somebody has from an action movie?The movie was good with a really nice plot. Watchable,not boring .A movie with a deeper purpose and good,interesting background story.Reviews are to help somebody to decide if it's worth seeing or not,some reviewers believe that a good review is some bad comments.Everyone had their opinion of course but 2 or 4 are for movies with no interest,awful plot and bad acting.This one wasn't any of these.I liked the idea of a higher purpose behind the script ,it had you thinking what happened?why?who? And that was interesting,there's not extremely plot just an action movie with smart scenario ,nothing unique or one of its kind.When I first saw 5.4 rate and 2...4 reviews I was like there's NO WAY to watch this.But i luckily i did and I'm glad that i did cause it was worth it.Give it a chance isn't that bad!!

Not a movie buff but since I live in the Cincinnati area I wanted to see this one. Enjoyed it. Could tell it wasn't a big budget movie but with the stars that were in it I thought it played out well. It kept me interested which is hard to do.

Watched this on Netflix, not expecting much. Well, it's really pretty good! I was entertained. The guy playing Mims really showed some range, and Chris Meloni was great as always. Recommended for an evening when there's sod all on the TV and you just want to relax and watch a decent film.
