Review:
Beautifully filmed film with superb acting, it's no wonder this one has been hailed a classic. It's the intense tale of a bank robbery for love gone rather wrong, and it's based upon a true story. Their intent was to be in and out in only a few minutes, but the money they were expecting wasn't really there. Also the Police show up and soon it's a gigantic circus with media and people gathered. Hostages are involved and the situation is rather desperate, and bargains start coming into play. I loved that it jumped right into action and that it is so well written, it is really an interesting piece to watch. I must admit that I thought it would have a little something more, because it is a rather chatty drama but it's realism is also a benefit as well I suppose. Well worth enjoying but maybe not for everyone.
Availability: On DVD & Blu-Ray
