I thought it was a good action movie, love that helicoptor-bus chase at the end. Also thought that the film's look was unmistakably that of same Director & DP as Gone in 60 Seconds. Halle Berry, wow is all I can say about that. Onto the nits.
******Spoiler Warning********
As with many cyber-thrillers the computer graphics were much more advanced looking than any computer OS (ie those spining boxes as he is trying to break the incription)
What was that guy who was in charge of the cops across the street from the World Bank thinking. Gabriel walked right passed them carrying what looked like a remote detonator, and the woman in front of the bank was obviously wired with explosives. Even though he did not know about the dog coller detonators how did he think the explosives would be trigered, by remote perhaps? Also the bad guys have about 2 dozen more hostages inside the bank. Did he think shooting 1 guy and having the cops grab that one hostage would stop the guys inside from killing a few of other the hostages inside the building, espicaly given gabrel's comments about Dog Day Afternoon and couldn't Gabrel still be holding that detonator so they can't storm in and shoot him?
Is it true that this movie features Halle Berry's first frontal nude scene? I include the "frontal" because her character in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge collapsed naked onto her (hotel room?) floor on her stomach in that movie.
Or is it just a topless scene?
And where in the movie is it?
It's topless, about halfway through the movie I think (I wasn't really looking at my watch at the time) It's 2 shots that each last a few seconds of her laying in a chair next to a pool with a pair of bikini bottoms on.

In love with Halle Berry: I include the "frontal" because her character in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge collapsed naked onto her (hotel room?) floor on her stomach in that movie.
Luigi Novi: You can see her breasts in Dandridge as well when she's in bed struggling with her (?) husband.
If that pathologist was any good near the end, considering it's LA I would hope so, he would know that the body identified as Gabriel Sheer(?) did not die in a helicopter crash and has been frozen for a while.
Wouldn't Stan tell the FBI where he sent the money so they could watch it?
The name of that terrorist at the end sounded like Osama Bin Laden with a few letters moved around.
