Reviews
" Two New York police officers dreaming of big money and use their professional experience to start with a bank break-in the coup of her life. Thriller with comedic flourishes. Although carefully staged and with sense of milieu moods, it's not the film manages ultimately to link crime entertainment and critique of the system formally in a meaningful way. "
