Old fashioned suspense 
by .. ()
Throwing 5 unlikely, and seemingly incompatible actors together to make such a serious and somewhat suspenseful could be called miraculous, I call it good directing. This movie gives you a chance to grow attached to the characters, no matter how greedy they might be. And the ending, surpisingly, caught me off guard.
Action Heist by .. Anathaniel Wallace (Wash, DC USA)
The movie really got me going. It had action, suspense and drama all mixed into the same movie. The cast was explosive and had great chemistry together.
Never has the quote "There is no honor among thieves" been more appropriate! Read Leonard Maltin's 1999 or 2000 Movie Review to get the gist of this movie.
Unfortunately haters like Gary (See His One Star Review Then Forget You Read It) seem to mix up fantasy with reality. The movie did not advocate the death of police officers, it was just an unintended consequence of the thieves going from point A to point B. See the similar movie One False Move for a comparison. The scene was necessary for the plotline to continue. Never mind that the "crew" started killing each other as well, so there were no "winners" in the end.
Like Adam Shoemaker, I highly reccomend this flick. I too wish it would be released onto DVD. My suspicion is that cop lovers like Gary and the conservative suits fear a backlash from places (Deep South & Southwest) that can't seperate imagination from reality. What a shame to see censorship suppressing creativity.

A violent and cruel movie by .. Ary Luiz Dalazen Jr. ()
Body Count, David Caruso's last film, is a surprisingly entertaining, violent thriller, about a bank assault that goes very wrong, throwing the members of the crew into a rollercoaster ride. Although this story has been told million of times by Hollywood, like in Burt Reynolds' upcoming Pups, Body Count has some particular qualities that make it original, hot and intense. The cast is great, actors like Ving Rhames, Joe Leguizamo and even Donnie Wahlberg deliver their jobs with mastery and talent. Rhames, who was excellent in Don King, is charming and brilliant as the most controlled member of the crew, and even in a small part, his presence is powerful. Leguizamo has in the film the chance to prove that he is in fact an actor with great dramatic potential, is too bad to see him in bad comedies, wasting his capacity. Caruso is a regular actor, he is still waiting for his breakthrough role, and in this movie he can show that he is excellent when he has something good in his hands. Body Count is a violent and terrific movie, if you want to buy it, do it, this film follows the same tradition of memorable cop-dramas, such as Sharky's Machine, The French Connection and many others!
A fresh, realistic crime thriller! by .. Bradley Tobin (Penrith, Sydney NSW Australia)
Have you ever seen a cast that fit there roles better than this... David Caruso plays one-hell-of -a tough guy, (and is truely convincing) Ving Rhames as the crim with a heart of... Bronze, John Leguizamo as a homicidal maniac who could kiss you one second and blow your head off the next, Linda Fiorentino as the not so trustworthy hitchhiker, Forest Whitaker as the man with the plan and Donnie Whalberg as the token Weakling. Don't expect lots of action, but do expect great acting and some nice, honest crime noir twists. Then you won't be disapointed.
