One is a glitzy caper flick with a clever leader of a group of glamorous thieves with hearts of gold (mostly). The other is a gritty L.A. cop drama with a dedicated detective, the kind beset with the usual assortment of personal problems, trying the crack cases with limited resources and Internal Affairs breathing down his neck. Alas, the filmmakers decided to stack the deck in favor of the latter, making the two storylines barely tangential to one another. And yet one can discern through the haze that once there was a script that made an interesting juxtaposition of the thief and the detective, one that played on the personal and professional issues each faced and that might have been a solid drama. Too bad.
