A group of thugs elude the cops and defeat them with such style and flair that the public is outraged, all because there was a news crew nearby and the whole thing is on the news. So the cops plan their revenge: they'll defeat the criminals and broadcast it, restoring their honor!
Only, the criminals have a webcam and a video phone. So they release their renegade footage to the media and it becomes an all-out image war!
Perhaps I'm being a bit too dramatic here, but it's a nifty spin on the cops & robbers genre and I was impressed with how it was done. The only thing the movie was missing was something to make it awesome. Certainly a good movie, with new ideas and some great scenes, but it doesn't elevate itself above similar style movies in any particular way.
