    Just released on dvd for the first time: Enjoyable Sidney Lumet caper, lighter than the Hill and The Offence, with Connery as Ace thief 10 years behind the times, and Martin Balsam steals each scene as a surprisingly convincing stereotype homo before it was a stereotype.

    Not one of Lumets best, but enjoyable. Had some great scenes and good acting throughout, but the story could have been stronger.

    Although the surveillance equipment used is dated, the plot is still very contemporary. Intriguing plot, good pace and fine performances. Some interesting and effective offbeat casting. Well edited.

    There's some fun camp value to be had here, and the film shows Lumet's skillful use of flashback to better tell his story.

    The awful synth soundtrack is what kills the film, especially when it's combined with various musical 'stingers' that pop up to ham-fistedly indicate that t...( read more)he characters are under surveillance, with a loud grating noise every time a CCTV is onscreen.

    Worth a rental, but nothing I need to re-watch again and again.

    Just above middling caper movie directed by Sidney Lumet, who has done far better in his career. Sean Connery and the introduction of Christopher Walken, in his first major motion picture, as stated in the opening credits, make it mildly enjoyable to watch. It's funny that Walke...( read more)n's character is only know as The Kid. Some scenes were worthwhile others weren't. Looks very dated. Could have been more effective if the screenplay was stronger. The whole thing comes off as kind of weak.
