The device of the interviews as jumps forward is interesting but unfortunately it tells the audience too much and spoils some of the later action by making it too predictable. The film is funny and this works quite nicely without slowing things down. It doesn't help that many of the twists are obvious (certainly the reason for the robbery was obvious even if it is never actually explained or justified that well) and when the final one does come it is delivered too slowly and reduces its impact. The external pressures from Madeline White should have increased the tension in the film but instead they were mostly separate interesting still but not complimentary. Now these areas could have been a great compliment to the main thread but they don't work as well as they should. It still works but it steps away from the robbery too often to touch on other areas. With things like Phone Booth, we were never allowed to step back and thus it worked however here it tries to do other things (to its credit) but these produce an irregular pace, inconsistent tone and tend to take away from the central, gripping action without putting in more than they take out. You see, things like this need pace and energy and direction like sharks, they need to keep moving forward or they die they die by letting the audience question things or move back off the edge of their seat to a vantage point of criticism.
Bringing in Frazier continues this delivery because he has a good swagger to him and it looked like they would pull off this film.
#GOLD SPIKE LAS VEGAS THURSDAY NIGHT PROFESSIONAL#
It isn't like this at first, with the film jumping right into a very slick taking of the bank and establishing a professional group of thieves to content with. However, although I enjoyed it for what it was, I must confess that the lack of consistent direction and pace made it more difficult to get into than I had hoped. With the trailer offering a great Saturday night, twisty crime thriller, a heavy cast and a strange directorial choice in Lee, this was a film I was hoping would be glossy, slick, silly and fun. With a by-the-book hostage situation in front of him things look good but internal and external pressures soon convince him that things are not as straightforward as he first thought.
For Detective Frazier this is just what he needs to help take his mind off accusations of corruption and girlfriend stress. As the hostages are professionally moved into a group and made to dress in the same suits as the robbers, the alarm is raised by a passing cop. Seconds later more people dressed as painters burst in and announce their intentions to all inside. For more information or to book a table visit ordinary day in a major bank, a man dressed as a painter walks in and points torches at the CCTV cameras.
