I can barely think of anything that made this movie special, and yet, I still had fun watching it.

For me the plot was very entertaining even though it wasn't very great. The most I liked the little twist in the movie. I have to admit, it surprised me. While the movie had an extremely boring story in the beginning, it improved a lot after that twist. In the end Banderas looked like a loser, yet Hollywood managed to end the movie with a (almost) typical Hollywood ending. (Kind of interesting.)

Banderas, nor Freeman have been exactly bad, yet, they couldn't convince me in their role as master thieves. The dialogs haven't been exactly great, yet, they managed to entertain me. Visually the movie was uninteresting. The action was pretty much non-existent. (So don't expect an action movie!) Still, the movie wasn't as bad as many other writers claimed here. There are way less inspired, less creative, more cliché- ridden and boring movies made in Hollywood these days.
