OK... lets add up some facts:
1. Samuel L. Jackson

That combination delivers a powerful movie which keep you
on the edge of your seat, with thrills & action which keep
the adrelin pumpin..
F. Gary Gray also brought us; The Italian Job & Set it Off
and now gives a great action-thriller to the audience.
The story also is a great one.. with a hostage negotiator

is being framed.
