Nothing on this earth would have made me watch this movie - had it not been for its stars Hugh Jackman and John Travolta - not to mention Halle Berry. I didn't expect much of it, having read its publicity - and it offered no surprises, but with such a good cast I would have hoped for more.
The heist thing has been done better on many occasions, the special effects were no better or worse than than what is offered today. The plot was unbelievable - and - had I not watched it on DVD, I would have left with many questions unanswered. Without the Director's run through, it is a very confusing movie in parts - and don't personally feel that a movie should need to be explained. If an explanation is required - then the makers have fallen down on their job.
A lot of money, a lot of talent was largely wasted on what in the end is a fairly indifferent, reasonably entertaining movie.
