    Top Notch shoot um up

    I seen this movie a while ago, it is a great account of the infamous North Hollywood shootout.

    great shootout scenes (nearly as good as the one from heat)

    If you like shoot um ups then this is for you.

    action all the way through

    Hollywood Rubbish

    This has to be one of the worst films i have ever seen.

    I appreciate that this was based on a real event, but if you want to know what happened, then try and track down a documentary about the '44 minutes' rather than watch this rubbish.

    To try and transfer it to a film was riddiculous, and i think it made the LAPD look incompetent. They were obviously under extreme pressure, but surely one policeman could have hit them in the legs with at least one bullet to slow them down, or better still made a head shot. Instead, they wasted all that ammunition firing at two people standing outside a bank and it went on for 44 minutes.

    Avoid this film, and watch the documentary if you are interested.
