"After a foolproof scam turns sour, Jimmy the Saint (a soulful but miscast Andy Garcia, who mainly acts with his hair) and his hard-bitten crew must put their various sordid affairs in order before facing their final bloody curtain call. It's not nearly as clever as it thinks it is, but Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead is a terminally wise-ass (and extremely violent) caper flick, and is still one of the better post-Tarantino crime ..."
"Wie bereits sein Vorgänger, Ocean`s Eleven, ist auch Ocean`s Twelve kein ernstgemeinter „Caper Movie“ als vielmehr Farce - eine abwegige, zum Teil absurde Geschichte, die erst durch die verlockende Kombination aus beeindruckendem Starglamour und überbordender Inszenierungsfreude seines Regisseurs Steven Soderbergh (Out of Sight, The Limey) zum Leben erwacht. Die durchgeknallten Gaunereien des ersten Teils werden unseren elf Meisterdiebe ..."
"In this third film in the epic Corleone trilogy, Al Pacino reprises the role of powerful family leader Michael Corleone. Now in his 60's, Michael is dominated by two passions: freeing his family from crime and finding a suitable successor. That successor could be fiery Vincent (Andy Garcia)... but he may also be the spark that turns Michael's hope of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence."
"Harlem N.Y.C. ist ein Gangsterfilm, der zwar seine Fehler hat, aber die ambitionierte Machart ist dennoch bewundernswert. Der Film versucht ein in Harlem beheimatetes Äquivalent zu Der Pate zu sein, verfehlt aber dieses hochgesteckte Ziel. Dennoch besitzt Harlem N.Y.C. viele Qualitäten, die einen wirklich sehenswerten Film auszeichnen. Es handelt sich hier um den ersten Film, der sich mit der Geschichte von Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson (e ..."
"In verschwenderisch schöner Ausstattung, unterlegt vom kraftvollen Soundtrack Ennio Morricones, inszenierte Brian de Palma 1987 die Geschichte von Elliot Ness, dem Mann, der einst Al Capone ins Gefängnis gebracht hat. Das Vorbild für seine Geschichte ist dabei weniger die Wirklich, als die gleichnamige TV-Serie aus den 60er-Jahren gewesen, die Ness, einen ehrlichen Beamten im Dienste des Staates, zu einer unberührbaren Ikone stilisiert ..."
"Ashley Judd, Samuel L. Jackson, Andy Garcia. A detective is on the hunt for a killer whose victims all have a connection to her-but the detective's frequent blackouts at crucial times lead her partner to become suspicious. 2004/color/97 min/R."
"JESSICA SHEPPARD IS A SAN FRANCISCO POLICE INSPECTOR LOOKINGFOR A SERIAL KILLER WHOSE VICTIMS ALL HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON: HER. THE INVESTIGATION BECOMES TWISTED AS HER PARTNER BEHAVES STRANGELY & THE COMMISSIONER IS ASKED TO REMOVE HER FROM THEINVESTIGATION. EVEN JESSICA BEGINS TO SUSPECT HERSELF."
"As has become rapidly apparent over the course of his career, a little bit of Andy Garcia goes a long way. Though he can rise to good material, his taste generally is poor, as this lumpy comedy proves. More to the point, without good material, Garcia is revealed for what he is: a pretty-boy actor with only minimal talent and a slightly cross-eyed smile. So the idea of Garcia playing identical twins--one good, one evil--offers twice as m ..."
"With a tawdry plot and a short list of suspects, Twisted gives armchair detectives an easy chance to figure out whodunit. Critics roasted this pulpy potboiler, in which Ashley Judd (attempting to repeat the thriller success she had with Double Jeopardy and High Crimes) plays a San Francisco homicide detective who is her own prime suspect in an ongoing serial murder case, in which all of the victims are men she recently slept with. These ..."
"Sylvester Stallone spins a lighter, more romantic version of his tough guy image in Avenging Angelo. For his entire life, Frankie (Stallone) has been protecting Jennifer (Madeleine Stowe), the daughter of a mob boss named Angelo (Anthony Quinn)--but she doesn't know it, any more than she knows that Angelo is her father. When Angelo gets hit, Frankie reveals the truth. Having just caught her husband with another woman, Jennifer isn' ..."
"Bathed in self-conscious cool, "Confidence" is a heist caper in which the heist is unimportant. As you might expect from "Glengarry Glen Ross" director James Foley, this pulpy concoction is more interested in giving good actors a lot of hip, salty dialogue as they scheme their way to the royal scam. It's a poor man's "Ocean's Eleven", just as enjoyable in its own way, beginning when con artist Jake (Edward Burns) discovers he's accident ..."

"Dieses Remake von Ocean's Eleven übertrifft das Original aus dem Jahre 1960 mit dem schrecklichen deutschen Titel Frankie und seine Spießgesellen (damals mit dem kompletten Rat-Pack um Frank Sinatra in den Hauptrollen) um einiges. Es glänzt mit einer Superstar-Besetzung, einer geschickt der heutigen Zeit angepassten Handlung und der gefälligen Hand des Meisters Steven Soderbergh hinter der Kamera.
