Three dimensional characters and solid performances highlight this crime caper that goes awry. However, we cannot recommend this film because it glorifies thievery. During the time of the Hayes Code, Hollywood was restricted in how it could portray crooks. Men had to serve time for their misdeeds. Now, we sit there rooting that they will get away with their crimes. In recent years, nearly every film that showcases the lead as a gangster of some sort, shows him getting away with his illegal activity. I’m beginning to wonder if this may be an unhealthy message and a sad commentary where moviegoers are pleased that the bandits get away with larceny.
