- GoofsOff duty cop played by Madsen, is being bothered by a large, noisy party next door. With no cooperation from them, he heads over with bolt cutters, and cuts through the electrical conduit supplying the house. Without electricity, the house and party go quiet. In reality, this would be incredibly dangerous, not just from electrocution, but from arc flash. In addition, the jaws of bolt cutters cannot open anywhere near wide enough to cut conduit, especially of that size.

One of the Greatest Shoot-Out of the American History
On 28 February 1997, two men heavily armed with AK-47 try to heist the Bank of America of North Hollywood, but their plan fails and they are kept under siege by the LAPD. Along forty-four minutes, Los Angeles witnesses live on television one of the greatest shoot-out of the American history.
Based on a true event, this movie impresses regarding the scenes of intense shoot-out, with the cast having also great performances. However, the statements of the characters, showing the LAPD as a brotherhood or family, do not seem to correspond to the reality showed in other police stories in American movies. Anyway, this film is a surprisingly good and worthwhile entertainment. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "44 Minutes - O Tiroteio de North Hollywood" ("44 Minutes - The North Hollywood Shoot-Out")
