ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Kenny Evans I can't really rate this film as I saw it once when I was about 12, but what I do remember is that it was fantastic, dirty, gritty and defined my knowledge of McShane as a great actor.I remember sewers, drills and bank vaults full of money that the robbers had all weekend to spend robbing I also remember the scene at the end where the hero jumps from a police station window onto a waiting motorbike that speeds away once he is safely seated.What this post is really about is to see if someone has a copy. I'd happily pay good money, so please drop me a message if you come across one!
MisterChandu This film is just perfect. Why it is not available on video is a mystery. It is a great caper film.I do not know much about the Algerian/French nonsense but the implementation of the bank robbery is done very well.The politics mean nothing. The crime is the thing.Planning the operation, getting the help, and then getting away are all you really need for a good caper film.Yeah, they get caught later but spending the cash is where they catch everyone.Damn good film.We need this available once again!
umbenhow This movie was released on VHS back in the 1980's, and is very difficult to find (at least in N. America). I really hope a DVD edition comes out soon. Excellent movie! By chance, right after I saw it, The Learning Channel (TLC) aired a special called "Daring Capers: Plunder Under Nice". The movie was very accurate and realistic. It's nice to see a movie without Tom Cruise heroics. I would rate it 9-out-of-10.
pictlady I have seen this film several times and impressed with its sharp action. It almost has a slight documentary feel to it.I am really surprised this film is not wider known. It was on video several years back, but then withdrawn. I have been begging for a copy for years and hope it will be re released soon.
