Reviews
“Two New York police officers dream of big money and use their professional experience to start the coup of their lives with a bank break-in. Thriller with comedic flourishes. Although staged carefully and with a feeling for the mood of the environment, the film ultimately fails to combine crime thriller entertainment and system criticism in a formally meaningful way. "
