Talking Pictures weren't kidding when they prefaced this nihilistic little crime drama (with a script in which cuts had to be made before it was eligible for a 'U' certificate) about a gang unraveling following a heist with their warning that it contained scenes that might upset younger viewers; especially the truly apocalyptic ending.
Probably patterned after Kubrick's 'The Killing' (with Ann Lynn in the equivalent to Marie Windsor's role in the original), like 'Reservoir Dogs' the robbery itself is not shown, and like Tarantino's film the setting itself hangs heavily over the characters, the most sympathetic of whom is black and whose colour is never mentioned.
