Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Tom Adams gives a masterful performance as a ruthless, cold-blooded and thoroughly brutal criminal mastermind in this vastly underrated crime study. We see him conceive of the plan of a seemingly impossible bank heist, meticulously plan every necessary move to the last fraction of a second, and set about assembling the most expert and competent criminal personnel to pull it off successfully...a race car driver, explosives expert, killer marksman, etc. After perfecting their parts through precision timed rehearsals, they successfully execute the robbery which will make them each rich....and then the betrayal begins. This is a film with a cold, dispassionate core. Michael Culver, in a supporting role as one of the participants who genuinely loves Adams' two-timing abused mistress, is the only one with any redeeming human qualities. Nevertheless, enough interest has been generated for the viewer to be surprised at the abrupt and unexpected conclusion.
From the makers of LICENCE TO KILL (a 1965 Bond spoof) and stars the Bond clone Tom Adams! Adams this time is in the opposite side of the law as a jet setter criminal who masterminded a heist and uses 3 guys and a girl to rob 4 million pound (UK currency) of diamonds, but the double crossing begins. Slow film with little care for any character make this film worthless to watch. Adams acting is same as if he was playing Charles Vine from those BOND take off films. The U.S. video print are edited TV prints and advertised like some kind of a biker film. Not recommended.
