Exciting little gem.

That's probably the most powerful little UK film I have ever seen since a long time. I am totally amazed, surprised at the most. It's entertaining from the start to the end. Aldo Ray is here wonderful, as usual. I also remember him in a similar character - well, nearly - in John Guillermin's THE DAY THEY ROBBED THE BANK OF ENGLAND. UK gave us really good films, when they wanted to. We see here a British product, but so awesome. Suspense and action, with sub characters the audience feel sympathy for, even the "bad guys"...

It reminds me a novel, never put on the screen - such a shame - TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE, written by a guy named Tony Kenrick, where a bunch of hoods take New York as hostage with the help of a huge canon aboard a war ship in Manhattan harbor. In this book, they threaten the authorities to blow the skycrapper if they don't get a big bullion...

Back to this film, I hope many people will watch it. It's worth.
