The opening sequence where he explores the neatly kept mansion for his robbery is the best moment in the entire film I was literally on the edge of my seat. Eastwood's direction is simply breathtaking.
The film is always kept exciting through the tense robbery scenes, character actions and a plot about a man and his power. Although there were great twists, the final few scenes and the way the narrative came to never felt quite justified in my opinion but then again I may have been expecting too much from a film that was consistent and engaging from the beginning. She is involved in a great twists towards the end which is a must watch. Laura Linney (The Truman Show) is terrific as Eastwood's daughter and adds a great sentimental value to a heavy crime film. The story justifies the genre by being focused upon murders and robberies and adds sentimental value in the form of family and friendship values.
Tense, exciting and with a few twists it presents a realistic view of a robber caught up in what will surely be a huge case. However the film is always tense and engaging, especially the beginning which was definitely one of my all time favourite openings to a crime film. Perhaps the story gets too involved at points with a lack of realism. A consistent plot involving many different types of characters in the form of organised professional robber Whitney (Marvellously portrayed by Eastwood) who is involved in a huge conspiracy involving the very uncomfortable president Hackman.
