I was too quick to judge. The film was about as straight forward as can be. Good guy vs Bad Guy, big vs small, nothing to out there. However, I think the day to day struggles that each character faces humanized the film and made the viewer be able to connect to the onscreen people. Tony Scott was able to deliver as well. If I were to rate this movie, I'd say about a 7.5. Very good, definitely left satisfied. @Candice,

Basically the plot spans a very stressful one hour in new york city, but we didn't need to be reminded of where the setting was. love the countdown though. it did provide a certain edge-of-your-seat element. It was an enjoyable film. interesting update on a previous post. this new post provides more info on the movie. i actually thought the constant zoom out of the city was kind of redundant.
