This wasn't my most favourite mobster/heist film of all time, but one has to pay respect to the good word of Sir Ben Kingsley. He did a fantastic job of playing a fairly ruthless mob boss. The writing and direction are so-so. There is a decent musical score that runs through the film. The casting seems appropriate for what the film ends up being.
There just isn't much of an innovative storyline here. It's somewhat derivative, even for its time. Never the less, please don't mistake my criticisms as me not liking the film - while you may have some reminiscent moments, the performances are strong and you'll be on the edge of your seat for sure!
