One of my all time favorites inspired by one of my favorite writers. Travolta’s coolest part ever, Hackman usual perfect performance, Russo gets in many one liners and looks great and Dennis Farina steals it as hood from Miami. Only movie I’ve ever watched 3 times.

I wasn’t sure if I was watching an animation or an authentic movie, when the dog deliberately knocked over Ford’s whiskey glass in an attempt at temperance I had enough and shut it off.

Dangerous revisionist history, a lot of people will take it as fact.

What others seem to have missed is that Clooney suspected he was the target for the custom rifle and thus booby trapped the gun so it would explode in Mathilde’s face when fired.

I did some figuring and one billion US dollars in hundred dollar denominations weighs about 2200 lbs, more if the bills are used and dirty. Therefore the logistics of transportating this sum was pretty realistic from the lightening of the helicopter to the dumping in the chasm. Four men could not carry this amount of cash so the scenes with the mules and dragging duffels above timberline were very realistic.

Requires some poetic license to buy into the plot.

By the end I had become sufficiently confused to have lost track of the plot.
