It’s rare that I think a movie should

It’s rare that I think a movie should be a little bit longer, but this one maybe could’ve benefited from a little more character exposition. Because the story and the layout of the heist is fantastic. Some good stunt work too in this movie. Recommended viewing.

Excellent. I can't believe I was only vaguely

Excellent. I can't believe I was only vaguely aware of this film. Another great Sidney Lumet movie. Sean Connery in top form. Christopher Walken's first movie.

It's not bad the more you stay with

It's not bad the more you stay with it. The first half man is a mess. The government surveillance of the building and Anderson setting up the actual heist is so messy, jumpy, and feels like two completely seperate films. Than when it just focuses on the heist in the second half it's very close to good honestly. The direction isn't bad either but it just gets very boring, meandering, and ho hum in that first half. This just needed to focus on the heist itself and get rid of the stakeout stuff. The music is good but I wish it was used more. It's a funky 70's Quincy Jones that works well. The acting is alright. Again there is so many characterss and they all just blend in save for Balsam and Connery. Everything else is half decent. Any commentary on big brother is lost with the heist movie and tension gets hampered until the second half. It's difficult to recommend this to anyone besides hardcore fans of the director or any actor here. There isn't enough conspiracy or heist suspense to really fufill fans of either I feel.
