Query: Great Actors, but not great story.

All the actors, especially Jodie Foster and Forest Whitaker, do outstanding jobs in their roles. In the beginning, you start to believe this thriller will be a game of wits. But in the middle of it, Jodie Foster's character starts doing things that, given the circumstances, is just ridiculous. The burglars have so many options to place the circumstances back into their favor, but rather than have the advantage (even though they have a great bargaining tool at their expense), they do things that are just plain stupid. A person with any decent sense of common sense could do better. Worth watching for some great acting, but because of the [bad] story, wait for the bargain theaters or wait for video.
