    Believe it or not: It's funny

    All star cast headed by Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas and they are two old crims just out of jail looking for the pension, how easy could that be....lol..? After 30 years in the can for committing a train robbery, Harry Doyle (Lancaster) and Archie Long (Douglas) are released i...( read more)nto what is a brand new world. So to go out in style, they steal a train. Watch out for Eli Wallach as a Mr Magoo type hitman who has been waiting 30 years to finish the job he was paid to do.

    A story of two legendary train robbers who have been paroled... the world has changed but they have not. Firs they try to fit in before realising that they are too old to change and provide many laughs along the way!

    Tough Guys is a terrific story. What a cast. Put it all together and you have a great watch.

    One of those movies that producers dream up that features two aging fossils (i.e. actors) and that's the movie's only drawing point. I don't care how old and respected these guys are they have to have good material or the movie is going to reek like a baby diaper.
