Résumés(1)
Un matin à Seattle, cinq hommes cagoulés font irruption dans une banque et prennent employés et clients en otage. Lorsque la police arrive sur place et boucle le quartier, Lorenz, chef du gang, exige de ne s'entretenir qu'avec une seule personne : l'inspecteur Quentin Conners, suspendu de ses fonctions suite à une sérieuse bavure...
C'est à contre-coeur que Conners accepte de reprendre du service, d'autant qu'il doit désormais faire équipe avec un tout jeune débutant dans la police, l'inspecteur Dekker...

An average story, with mediocre execution and amazing cast. But we've seen it all several times before, and usually in much better form. An extra star for Jason Statham, Ryan Phillippe and Wesley Snipes, though.

At the entrance of the bank that was robbed, an explosive device goes off, and the police let the hostages and potential robbers leave without identification? Seattle is just a hop from Canada, but I didn’t notice that the operation was led by Labrosse from Hold-Up. This is an example of how Chaos pretends to be sophisticated but actually does the opposite. Tony Giglio doesn’t show any significant directorial flair, and it all leads to the expected finale, where the eager rookie Phillippe runs around the airport with a mobile phone in one hand and a coffee mug with the bottom labeled "Kobayashi Porcelain" in the other. Tough first days at work when you’re figuring out which colleague wants to outsmart you and which one wants to double-cross you (the cringe scene with the police technician). And Statham? Although he leaves his nimble limbs idle, he’s as unpleasant to everyone else as Harry Callahan in male menopause. And now imagine if they took away his nicotine gum…
