ages pretty well, some of the secondary actors don't deliver their lines well, at the time, they were career B movie players. There are some secondary plot points that make this movie thirty minutes longer than it should be. The ending isn't great great so it all about the international intrigue. 4/5

:damn:@how much Deniro was in his bag for this one. Almost didn't even recognize him at points.

I gotta watch the original soon. Mitchum's small part in this sounding like he never lost a step :wow:

the stupidest plan you ever heard...the two must have been eff ups as kids that they got blocked out of the family business...

The scene at the beginning of the movie was the reason the robbery happened in the first place

I like to understand stuff. I like to understand why stuff is happening and what made it happen. I like to understand why stuff is happening, what made it happen and how it came to happen, based off of past understandings or in the least, an explanation. Movies don't really give you an explanation for shyt and often leaves you to "Interpret" whatever transpired based off of your understanding. That's why people often rewatch movies after the credits so they can pick up pieces, Easter eggs, dialogue and actions that didn't make sense before "All" is revealed but do now that the twist has been presented.

I really don't get this movie and I really wanted to as a black man since the first half of this movie, Race and identity definitely takes a front seat in the proceedings of this film until you realize there's something bigger at stake. Something bigger than what's happening to the characters. The abuse they receive and the conditions that they are take on an overtly malicious air to the point you'd believe that this is only happening because they are black and in a sense, it is. However, as the film progresses and more is known as to not only what's happening, but why it's happening, you are still left to wonder about the other people around this situation; Do they know? Was this deliberate? Eh.

Nice acting by both characters, but then again I'm never one to spend time 'discerning' roles since all both actors needed to be was black, African and scared, which they both were because they are two out of the three. This movie, as much as I wanted to like it didn't scare, or intrigue me. It just made me wonder outloud, as to the "What" and "Why" of everything that happened and will prolly happen after. Plus Eh.

Not gonna lie, I'm conflicted. I very much enjoyed this, however, I'm insanely disappointed that the culprit was that obvious. :francis:

Anyone else watch a crappy movie, then just think to yourself, who the he’ll write, directs, produces, finances and approves of this shyt
while channel surfing, i saw the ending for a really bad late 60s or early 70s movie that i cant even remember the name of. it had some guys on motorcycles with sidecars and they just rode around in circles throwing hand grenades for a very long time. i mean this scene went on forever and then the movie ended. and it was on TCM so ben mankiewicz still had to come out and give some trivia about the movie. i was just kinda stunned and wondering how this got made? how this script made it past another human being without being thrown in the garbage? how did somebody with money pay for this?
