Bill's Comments

With Gene Hackman and Danny DeVito, how can you not like it. Gene has been in more movies than the MGM Lion and he's great! Danny is the most unlikely superstar I can imagine and yet I love everything he does. This flick is another fantastic scheme for the perfect robbery with lots of plot twists. It's very good escapist entertainment even though there were some plot twists that I found difficult to swallow. It ain't great, but it is entertaining.
