That's a pretty solid cast right there. I saw a mention of it the other day in a Slate.com interview with Spike Lee. Lee gave a paragraph summary of the film.

Trailer looked pretty sweet. As formulaic as the synopsis sounds, I think Mr. Lee will make it fresh. Music in the trailer distracted me a bit; it's taken off the Collateral soundtrack, to which I've listened too much.

Personally I think the weak link in that cast is Jodie Foster by far. The other three are top-tier actors, although Clive Owen has made some poor choices in his effort to become an American household name.

I saw this preview and was shocked when I saw the director was Spike Lee. It looked to me like standard thriller fare, but Lee's involvement has me interested. I also think seeing Jodie Foster play an atagonist(at least that's how the preview looks) will be unique.

I wonder if the studio has full confidence in this, considering it's getting a Spring release. Wouldn't a Spike Lee film with a good cast usually get a late Summer or Fall release???

I've had high hopes for this film ever since seeing the trailer last December. As long as it doesn't get killed my the critics and word of mouth.
I couldn't care less who directs the film. I'm fairly certain I'll like it.
