To be honest, I would have prefered to watch a tough crime flick inspired or adapted from Richard Stark, with a cold blooded Parker, than this plot written by Donald Westlake- Stark aka. Here we have the same kind of atmosphere, DNA as in Peter Yates' HOT ROCK or Gower Champion's BANK SHOT.... Caper scheme, yes, but so light hearted, nearly comedy oriented most of the time. But, I admit that is rather fast paced, never boring. Aram Avakian is also known for another crime film 11 ARROWHOUSE, a heist film, which I will comment next year. Besides this, Avakian did not shine at all. So you can get this one, it is a good time waster, but not the gritty crime flick that you could expect.
