Entertaining heist-thriller with fine performances from all involved (would've liked seeing Edgar G. Robinson more but all in all was engrossed with the heist itself and the twist or two. Not sure if it ranks high amongst others in the genre (Ocean's Eleven is the top of my list) but still well worth checking out. **3.75/5**

His meticulous, almost "League of Gentlemen" (1960) , planning accounts for every detailed aspect… read the rest.
