Summary: Missing Important Information.
Review: This movie is a hype for the L.A. Police Department. It hypes their heroism. The police officers were hero's, but they were also very foolish to engage these men in the street. They should let the Robbers go, then raid their house. This would of kept civilians out of the crossfire. Instead they all wanted to be John Wayne, this film is the result of Cops who care more about the rush of a shootout, then the well being of civilians.
This film also does not show that the L.A.P.D left one of the bank robbers in the street, they let him bleed to death. This was nothing more then a street justice exicution by the police. Which the L.A.P.D. was sued for. None of this was in the film. The film only shows, what the L.A.P.D. did right and not what they did wrong. It also flat out lied about how Larry phillips died. In the movie, they show a police detective shoot him before he can commit suicide. In real life we watched live on the news as the man shot himself. For entertainment, this movie was done well, for those who do not care about whats hidden from them, you'll enjoy it. I gave this movie 4 stars, because although It had some major mistakes, and important information left out. It was done rather well, those of you who want to watch it just for the shoot out action, you will love it. Those who watch it for information will not.

Summary: Excellent Docu-Drama!
Review: 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).
