Fantastic Film-Never Seen!, 3 June 2007
8/10
Author: Kenny Evans from United Kingdom

I can't really rate this film as I saw it once when I was about 12, but what I do remember is that it was fantastic, dirty, gritty and defined my knowledge of McShane as a great actor.

I remember sewers, drills and bank vaults full of money that the robbers had all weekend to spend robbing I also remember the scene at the end where the hero jumps from a police station window onto a waiting motorbike that speeds away once he is safely seated.

What this post is really about is to see if someone has a copy. I'd happily pay good money, so please drop me a message if you come across one!
