Director Steven Soderbergh's gaudy use of color and snail pacing make this overrated flick about an armored car heist play like Natural Born Killers on quaaludes. What could have been a white-knuckled twister is instead (sigh) an art film posing as a thriller. Disappointing after Soderbergh's beautiful King of the Hill. (R. Pitman)
