Usually when you hear the phrase "Made for T.V. movie" you'd groan. No need to for this picture. This is an amazingly exciting and informative movie on the two men who tried to rob a Bank of America branch located in North Hollywood during 1997. This film shows how the would-be bank robbers took control of the bank with ak47s and how the police brought these thieves down. It even contains real footage of one of the men cimmiting suicide and the other being shot down (this later caused a court case where the man's family sued the LAPD for supposedly letting him die in the street from his wounds).

The fool who thought the cops should let the bad guys go left out a VERY important piece of information-- no one died but the robbers, but they showed they were willing to kill indiscriminately. Cops are even allowed to shoot men like this in the BACK-- because IT SAVES FUTURE VICTIMS!The cops who faced down AK-47s with .38s and shotguns WERE heroes, no two ways about it. If you can't accept that, move to France. This is one of the best made for TV cop movies ever made. Well acted, authentic, and semi-documentary without being stiff or unimaginative.

other reviewer says taking down heavy armed bank robbers endangered people. letting them go could cause a car accident when they escaped. when they took the mask off the guy who was trying to shoot himself, the hole looked like the guy did shoot himself, though i'm not sure. the action was very good. I'm suprised this was a made for T.V. movie. The action is kind of like the first scene of Swat with more blood, a lot longer, and just a lot better.
