The film's one redeeming merit is Kim Basinger, a good actress who has a sweet presence here. I cared about her character more than the character deserved to be cared about -- and more, I suspect, than the filmmakers did.

I have to agree with the critics on this one. Slow moving, predictable heist movie, with uninteresting and poorly developed characters. There was a slight twist at the end, but over all unsatisfying. I almost quit with 40 minutes to go.
