Caos

When I started watching this movie, I didn't expect much. in fact with Snipes and Statham, I assumed this was a typical silly action flick, like transporter 2. But I was wrong, very wrong. In fact this movie is really good. I've enjoyed watching it, which is a big thing cause it was quite a while since the last time I could say that to a movie. In my opinion Snipes plays a really good villain. But unfortunately for the fans, he doesn't get much screen time. OK, there are some clichés in the story, but it's still not a bad one, and you can't guess what will happen next. The only major weakness in the movie IMHO is Ryan Phillipe, his performance is just simply BAD (that should be in bold). If it wasn't for him I'd give this movie an eight. So all in all, I think this movie is worth watching especially for those who like thrillers. But if you only want to see Snipes and Statham fight, or you're looking for plain action, avoid it. There are no fights, and the action is limited to a single chase, and some gunfights.

Intriguing and decent thriller movie with noisy action, grisly killings, suspense, pursuits, and lots of violence. Jason Statham is nice in his usual style as the cop who is dispatched to take down some thieves who are robbing a bank. There's a good production values with several stars and a clever twist ending. Five hooded robbers break into a bank and take several hostages. The carefully and neatly perfect crime about a bank robbery goes awry when the thieves abduct and take hostages to people of building interior. Psychosis and paranoia abound between the prisoners from all sides and they can see no way out and someone making desperate tryings to flee. The leader of the group demands that the police negotiate directly with Quentin Conners, an agent recently suspended from the force for a fatal accident in which hostages died. Police must save at whatever cost the hostages bank what's suddenly under siege and itself surrounded of heavily super-armed polices and SWAT. When the system breaks down... someone is about to get rich !. When the system breaks down - It's the good cops vs. The bad cops !. A stand off where nobody stands down !. It looked like the perfect bank robbery. But you can't judge a crime by its cover.

Film packs maximum tension, emotion, thriller and surprise from the subsequent attempts by the policemen to enter in the bank, along with a lot of twists and turns. This movie is a crowd-pleasing blend of intrigue, tense, action-packed, fast movement and the casting is absolutely perfect. Jason Staham (Transporter) is one of the best and most successful stars of action cinema in recent times. He is the main starring of this film by the director of 'In enemy hands', Tony Giglio, whose plot and treatment are inevitably reminiscent of 'Inside Man' by the controversial filmamaker Spike Lee. Having an attractive cast alongside the main protagonist, appearing several screen figures of the stature of Wesley Snipes as the mastermind who executes an intelligent scheme and Ryan Philipe as the newcomer, naive cop, both of whom were in their best days, and both supporting the former British Olympic swimmer, Jason Statham; however, the film was released directly on DVD in the United States and many other countries, perhaps to avoid competing with the Spike Lee film: ¨The Inside Man¨stars Clive Owen, Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster. In the rest of the world, however, the box office was acceptable and today it is better considered than in the past, deemed to be a good action film. Here Statham is top-notch as the detective suspended from his position who is forced to return to work, he plays following his ordinary manners as a tough and two-fisted guy, interpretations that have given him a considerable success, thanks to films as "Revolver" , "Crank" I and its sequel, "Transporter" saga, "The Expendables", "Killer Elite", "Safe" , "Homefront", "Wild Card", "The Mechanic" I and II, "Fast and Furious" 7 and 8, "Megalodon I and II", among others . Big Star Jason Statham is well accompanied by a good support cast with many famiar faces, such as: Henry Czerny, Justine Waddell, Nicholas Lea, Jessica Steen, Rob LaBelle, John Cassini, Keegan Connor Tracy, Ty Olsson, Terry Chen, Mike Dopud and Natasha Malthe.

It displays a pulsing and thrilling musical score by composer Trevor Jones. Likewise, an appropriate and atmospheric cinematography by Richard Greatrex. This interesting film is both exciting and thrilling although with a twisted finale, being professionally directed by Tony Giglio. He's an expert on action and thriller genre as proved in : ¨In Enemy Hands¨ (U Boat), ¨Timber falls¨, ¨S. W. A. T.: Under Siege¨, ¨Doom: Annihilation¨, ¨Extraction¨, ¨Chaos¨, among others. Rating: 6/10. Decent thriller for Statham and Snipes fans.

Unlike other Wesley Snipes recent movies, this one was quite a surprisingly good movie. When I popped this movie in, I was expecting an below then average movie, but like so many others like me, I had to see for myself. This movie reminded me of inside man, and the cast was worth the watch.

This was definitely a good movie. The twist in the movie was quite a surprise. Jason Statham plays an excellent roll and Ryan Phillipe did a great job with his performance.

I would recommend this movie to anyone who want to sit down and watch a good action flick!

I went to this movie with the lowest expectations and i just thought i would see a van dammed type of movie. But I was in for a surprise. The movie has good twists and action, I really loved the acting from Jasom Statham who is a really good actor! If you are an action movies fan then you shouldn't miss this movie... and don't think this movie is an all action movie, the story is well written and the twists are well made. I'd say go for it if you don't know which movie to watch!

The movie starts with Jason Statham out of the force. So then they had to get him back because of a bank robbery and the bad guys asked for him. Something bad happens in the Bank, then the cops are after the bad guys looking for them. You will have to keep a close eye at the movie, it's a good action thriller that you will not expect to be as good as it is!! and after this movie i'll proudly say i'm a huge fan of Jason Statham (Snatch, Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels, Transporter, Transporter 2, Cellular, CHAOS), this guy is just amazing!

Let's be fair, it's a good movie BUT it's hardly memorable or spectacular in the long term. I think what the director thought was... "people like smart action movies, therefore i'll make mine smart". Well here's the difference you have action movies that don't look that smart but actually are. And this one looks smart but actually isn't. The problem with that is that it tries to outdo itself, especially the last thirty minutes... where the detective comes upon a different plot every ten minutes, so what we get then is a Usual Suspects kinda montage of every far fetched clue we overlooked only to be changed entirely ten minutes later up until a point were you stop caring.

The director/writer will have to explain to me how detectives take a mathematical theory seriously as a tool to outsmart cops. Again maybe the director wanted to be smart again, by namedropping it's plot by defining it with some fancy word.

Anyway i didn't think much of Jason Statham's acting at all, he's kinda like the Orlando Bloom of the action movies... luckily he doesn't carry this movie alone (unlike The Transporter). Wesley Snipes' character is typical Snipes, after starring in numerous action movies i suppose it was a walk in the park for him. And Ryan Philliphe is a very promising upcoming actor, he really delivers probably the best acting (along with Snipes) in the entire movie.

Just see it once and you'll be entertained. Just don't try to think much about the plot after worths or you'll be insulted.
