I really like these bad guy w/ good motive roles he's been doin lately.

I agree w/ those who would like to see Zel's character get a recurring role in another SLJ. Keep his patna as well tho. Chiwetel was crackin me up. All of the interogation scenes were gold.

Jodie Foster & Chris Plummer chewed up some great scenery as well.

As far as the confusion over the 1 lady who we're not sure is a hostage or robber, I think you guys have it the other way around. The way I saw it, she starts out as a hostage & the real robbers give her a toy gun & have her play the role of a robber to confuse all the other hostages. That's why towards the end they had 2 drop the case cuz no one could indentify who were the hostages & who were the robbers.
