Sidney Lumet directs Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman and Matthew Broderick in this caper where three generations of men reluctantly work together on a score.

Not a great movie but a fantastic cast. Having said that… terrible casting. How can three white guys who are supposed to be blood related to each other be so genetically divergent? Hoffman is going a touch too hard, Broderick ain’t got the minerals but gruff and charming Connery shines. The heist and the moral dilemma aren’t any big shakes so this is very much a tough but tender hang out movie. Connery dominates, everyone else just about keeps up. On-location with a bit of grit and ethnic sparkle. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore, lads.
