Underated, Must-See Film

Loyal fans of James Spader will be pleased to enjoy generous screen time with this amazing actor, known for his meticulously crafted characters. Despite some odd directorial choices and the occasionally awkward script, The Stickup (2001) is a clever tale of one man's redemption after a case of mistaken identity, and police corruption. The plot has the viewer heading down one direction only to find that things were going backwards. Suspenseful moments, twists and a love story make for a nice movie which will hold your interest and draw you in.
Always best as the sexy Bad Guy, or the libidinous and dangerous Good Guy, Spader gets the chance to explore both archetypes in this compelling dark comedy. With his patrician good looks, predictably unpredictable choices, and usual intense commitment, James Spader is spot-on throughout, displaying his usual versatility, and playing naturally off his fetching co-star, Leslie Stefanson, with whom he appears to have real heat. This smart little film deserves a second chance. It seems to have slipped under the radar during a year in which movieland provided us with a bounty of riches. A must have for the loyal and rabid Spaderfan.

Special kudos to the fine comic work of John Livingston as the rookie FBI agent who helps us unravel the plot.

Awesome movie!

Great movie. Lots of twists and turns in the plot.
I loved it. I'd say it's one of James Spader's best roles.

Sexy, full of suspense, an unforgetable twist - a multi-layered treat

[Spoiler warning]
It's James Spader sexy. This man oozes. You just can't move your eyes from him whenever he's on the screen. If you're a James Spader fan, then expect a lot of pauses because you won't be able to help yourself from several servings of his gorgeousness. There's a touch of "White Palace" starting from the spicy bar scene when John Parker (Spader) is picked up by the forward Natalie Wright (Leslie Stefanson). There are also echoes of "Driftwood" detailing the wounded John in pain and how he is undressed and nursed. There are also lots of elements of the complex, deep, unpredictable, crooked, but brillient, and romantic Alan Shore at play. But it's still an original movie in the way all its odd components comically "jarred" together with such a surprising twist that the closet one I can think of is the excellent one in "The Sixth Sense".

Get it and savor it! It's a real treat. I looooove it!
