Saw this last night. Very tense with some great twists and turns. Steve McQueen is definitely a technically gifted filmmaker--there was nothing really bad about any of the technical aspects of the movie. Acting was universally terrific from a great cast.

Highly recommended as a heist movie with some twists.
