March 7, 2007This movie was in my erra and some of that story had to do with some friends involved in that Heist at the airport, Knew that fat guy who bought that Pink Caddy, I didnt like him lived accross the street from my inlaws, As it is said and done, He got what he deserved But I will never forget in that movie the Diner on Rockaway Blvd in Ny where my husband had breakfast every morning. and we lived like 5 blocks from there . Now who could say all that and know the truth about that Story !
