Enredo

- CuriosidadesThe film was largely based on the events surrounding the St. Louis pension fund scandal of 1988. In the 1988 case, the ex-policeman, Anthony D. Daniele, had just been sentenced to eight years in prison for stealing from the police and fire department pension fund via a kickback scheme that cost the fund $333,000. The scheme involved the paying of artificially high commissions to a brokerage firm and receiving kickbacks. The sentence also required Daniele to pay back $200,000. The attorney with the firm was sentenced to nine years and the other participants, who pleaded out, were sentenced to serve between six months to three years.
Although he was not a negotiator, Daniele, like the Danny Roman character, had been a member of the police hostage-response team. The day after sentencing, he went to the office of the man who exposed him, John Frank, vice president of the city police board, and took him hostage. As with the film, this standoff took place on a high floor of a high-rise office building. The stand-off lasted 15 hours before Daniele gave up.
- Erros de gravaçãoPolice negotiators and entry teams conduct their activities independent of one another so that the negotiator doesn't inadvertently let the hostage taker know what the entry team is doing.

Lieutenant Danny Roman: When your friends betray you, sometimes the only people you can trust are strangers.
- Versões alternativasIn the Blu-ray, the 75th anniversary variant of the Warner Bros. Pictures logo is plastered at the beginning with the silent version of the 2003 variant. However, closing 1992 variant is retained at the end of the film.
I don't think I expected much more than a standard contemporary police corruption thriller, and this was better than I expected both in the story line (which has a couple great twists) and the acting and pacing (thanks to both Kevin Spacey and Samuel L. Jackson). It's not quite as intense or fresh feeling as "Serpico," one of the defining movies of this type, and it's longer than it needs to be (especially at the beginning), but it's as steady and convincing as most movies of this type.
Now it's worth saying that movies of this type (and let's be broad and include "Die Hard" and "Bad Lieutenant" in the mix) always stretch the limits of credibility, and if you don't like that, don't watch it. I mean, even the bad cops are kind of super cops, swirling in from helicopters and crashing through windows with their guns on fire. And Jackson, playing the embattled innocent accused, is more adept than even Bruce Willis, though a bit less fun for sure. If this were all the movie, it would be just passable, something on the level of the new "Take Pelham 123." But enter Spacey, and the whole meaning of the title shifts 180 degrees, and the edginess of the dialog ramps up a lot.
A good one.
