Originally intended as a conveniently located test disc for my new home cinema set up, this quickly grabbed me (I'm a big fan of old heist films)...and certainly provided an entertaining watch but not without some small grievances on my behalf (I wonder if the movie was shortened which led to some small plotholes or if the director wanted to keep his audience completely in the dark?).
Nevertheless I certainly enjoyed the general mood and feel of the film.
PS it looked great (for an upscaled dvd) on my new system btw.  |
I also like this. A twisty turny heist thriller with strong performances. The plane sequences were well done. Even on a second viewing a couple of years back it still held my attention as i'd forgotten a lot of the goings on.
