Seen for the first time in August 2012.
A nice criminal heist film. The hooligan was a memorable character. Intense and intimidating yet proven to have a human side. Enjoyable film. It’s maybe dated in a hokey way with some of the police stuff, but it does not fail to glamourize criminality. This sort of thing makes the code requirement of crime failing to recompense a sort of blessing.
The criminals with which we identify meeting their doom gives these films a tragic power. Today the movies give the audiences what they want, and the glamorized charismatic criminals always get away with it. Grade A-.
