Love love LOVE this movie. Here are my 3 favourite scenes:

(SPOILERS)


Especially the long pause on Mark Wolberg's face starting at 0:50s. So much tension, such great acting, so much coolness.



This part is just brilliant. The scene is progressing normally and Don Cheadle's character is having a nice moment with no cares at all, and there's zero tension in the scene until thief comes in. All good until the guy in the red hat reaches into his coat and pulls out his gun. WOW. Then the zoom on Don Cheadle and the money. Brilliant.


The nice long tracking shot starting at 0:13 here reminds me of a Depalma 70's movie. Again, tension, but you don't really know why until .... BOOM!
