Still an excellent movie even today

Hi. I watched this again last night and was struck by how well it holds up against more contemporary cinema. Some elements are slightly dated although by now this is almost a period movie.

Also what mixed feelings I had seeing the WTC under construction.

It's better than many being made today. This one seems like a combination of Inception and Focus just for a couple of examples.

One of my favorite movies. Makes me laugh something fierce.
It is tough seeing the towers on construction, makes me feel a little guilty about laughing so hard during the helicopter scenes.
