1971

Dir: Richard Brooks (Key Largo, Blackboard Jungle, In Cold Blood)

Heist film with Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn. While there are distinct moments of tension, the film lacks the hyper cleverness of the latter day caper movie (Ocean's 11, Usual Suspects, Reservoir Dogs, Heat, etc.). Seems like one of those movies that opened the door for a way of telling a story that others have fully walked through.

Decent; very watchable for those into these kinds of fast paced bankrobbing flicks.
