Nonureva Really Surprised!

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

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

grafxman This excellent thriller has a terrific international cast. The plot is pretty original. SPOILER FOLLOWSThere is practically no dialog at all for the first several minutes of the film as the thieves use an amazing technology to access the safe. I found it quite riveting however the most amazing thing is the lengthy chase scene about one third into the movie. As the small cars are flying and careening around the hilly streets I was astonished to see dozens of gawkers watching the chase. In several scenes they had to leap out of the way. It was pretty amazing and not to be missed.

SipteaHighTea I don't remember much of the film except for 2 events. One was Omar Sharif playing a game with one of the crooks. He had a glass of booze in his hand and stated to the crook that the more he drinks the worse his aim gets and every time he drank, his shots came closer to the crook. The crook gets away; however, he is wounded in the shoulder.I love the ending where Omar gets the gems; however, he is caught in a silo where grain is falling on top of him and in the end, only one of his hands with the gems is above the grain while the rest of his body is buried.The film is one of the unknown films that I did not known that Omar Sharif had made apart from Genghsis Khan, Lawrence of Arabia, The Far Palivion, and Night of the Generals.

Eric_Leiston I saw this movie in a shabby downtown movie house in Los Angeles in the early 1970s. The floors stank of a pine based cleaner, and most of the seedy and unshaven audience seemed there only to nap and avoid the heat. However, there was a pimp in the back sitting between two of his employees. They were enjoying the movie, and as they sipped from a bottle in a brown bag, they were shouting out and applauding their approval of the main characters' antics. The movie was long and the actors were overly involved with themselves; after a while it seemed pointless to follow the plot. This was one of the few major movies ever filmed in Athens during the period of the colonels. If you look carefully during the farcial and marvelous car chase scene,you can see Greek police stationed to keep traffic and crowds away from the action. In fact, the exterior location shots of this movie exists as a lost artifact of how Athens appeared between the late 60s and early 70s.

corbo Brilliant acting, good, classic plot, fantastic score from, once again, Ennio Morricone, the best car chase ever... (Remy Julienne, of course) Belmondo is at his best, Sharif is a superb baddy, and they fight each other with skills, brains, guts and muscles. They don't make breathtaking suspense like this anymore. Well, Sharif is really... how to say? impressive? ghastly? Hum, how do you say "malsain" in english? This one is a classic. Check it out. And "l'Homme de Rio" as well.
