hi gang--
been puzzling over this for years and maybe this forum will finally answer it:
around summer of 1999 i was house sitting for some folks-- they had satellite cable or something and i was surfing. I came into the tail end of this movie, maybe the last 10 mins before credit roll. What i saw was a dramatically shot-- almost 'operatic'-- urban setting, at night, as the final events of what i gathered was a bank robbery/heist etc were going down. As i watched this i surmised the robbery etc was coming apart and ending in disaster; people getting shot, running through streets and buildings to get away from (police?). I recall a white female and several males, black and white. I *think* i remember a shot of paper currency being blown down night streets-- and a nice crane shot over a bridge. What may have struck me was the lack of dialogue for what was a pretty climactic scene. This movie was in color, and none of the actors were known to me.
except for the night and color aspects, it sounds like i just described Kubrick's 'The Killing', but this movie would've been a recent/contemporary release in summer '99. I can't imagine this one being made prior to '95.
And no it was not 'Heat' (Michael Mann)
Any ideas??
This is one of those fleeting glimpses of imagery that simply sticks with you for *some* reason-- after all thse years i'd like to find this thing and see if the rest of it is as good as the last few minutes.
best to all,
MRP
