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.
User rating: 4Missing Important Information.
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.
