Review
Robert Duvall was at perhaps his
most productive when starring in this hardboiled, disillusioned
crime/gangster movie about a bank robber who finds himself up
against the Chicago Outfit after hitting one of the banks they
control. John Flynn's direction is unglamorous and unassuming, which
makes the film unremarkable seen in retrospect; there's little
imminence or tension left here after forty years of aging, except
perhaps Duvall's ever-credible appearance. The Outfit remains
well-made and well-told, however, and it has its fair share of
stark, gripping realism.
