There's never been a better setting for a pitch black noir gangster film than the slag heap wasteland of Northeast England in the 1970s. Caine miraculously finds a emotional center in an otherwise duplicitous, amoral bastard of anti-hero. If you catch the remastered version then I envy you.
I love a good heist movie… if you can call this that.
And I love 70s Pacino (Godfather 1 and 2, … And Justice for All)
If you like seeing this man freak out, walk don’t run watch this now
