Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Eddie_weinbauer Phill can't act worth 2 cents. The robbery is over in the first 15-20 minutes after that it's really only down hill. Hiding from the law,cause they've ben careless leaving clues behind And when they finally escape to Acapulco.All Busters wife does is complain,nag nag nag about how she miss fish and chips and yada yada.As usual with movies like these,the never point the finger at the wife.Who always wanted something better than what they had. She act like her husband isn't a wanted man back home in england. *****spoilers'******** Even worse,he leaves Acapulco cause he can't stand being without his naging wife,who left him for england. So he goes back to england and ofc get arrested

TheExpatriate700 Buster takes an extremely interesting subject-the Great Train Robbery of the 1960s-and turns it into a tedious romantic comedy. Although the lead performances by Phil Collins and Julie Walters are good, they are not enough to save the picture.The film's main flaw is that it only deals in passing with the one thing that makes Buster Edwards really interesting-the Great Train Robbery. The robbery itself is dealt with roughly a half hour into the picture. We get no sense of how a small time crook like Buster-a man whose main accomplishment seems to be stealing mannequins from shop windows-got involved with such a major criminal enterprise. Furthermore, we only get the vaguest sense of who the planners of the crime were. At times, I found myself wishing the film had been about the ringleaders instead.Instead, we get over an hour about Buster and his family's time on the run. It isn't particularly interesting, and even comes across as repetitive as Buster moves from one hide out to another. Although the strain on his family makes for some touching moments, it's not enough to carry the movie.The film's "happy" ending especially falls flat, given the real life Buster Edwards's suicide a few years after the film came out. Seeing Buster walk away with his wife, seemingly happy, when the real man was actually an alcoholic haunted by personal demons, is almost heart breaking.The film's one reason to be remembered is for its soundtrack, which features two classic Phil Collins hits. Unfortunately, they only appear at the end of the film.

jubilee77 I have waited long enough to comment about this film about the 1963 Great Train Robbery. The reconstructed scenarios of the 1960s era may be good and Phil Collins as one of the robbers and flower seller Ronald "Buster" Edwards is quite good while Larry Lamb looks almost strikingly like gang leader Bruce Reynolds in this rather underrated film. Of course, if its underrated then its not hard to understand the reason why because controversially, the film has some criticism for glorifying on what remains the biggest robbery in criminal history for £2.5 million was a lot for its time. Worst, the train driver Jack Mills sustained head injuries in the ambush attack and never recovered from his ordeal therefore dying six years later from leukaemia. These men were just criminals and do not deserved to be praised like this on film with most of them returning to their lives of crime and Buster Edwards does not "steal your heart". Yet it now seems to be that many years after the robbery, most of the gang members have long since disappeared just like most of the money and in 1994, a depressed Buster Edwards hanged himself in a disused garage near London's Waterloo Station where he traded as a flower seller.

m_hebner This is one good movie! This is a good movie for Phil Collins fans such as myself. Phil Collins is not only a great singer and drummer, hes also a great actor. This is a good movie to watch on a Friday night if you don't have anything else to do. You won't be sorry.
