lesser caper flick
9 May 2024
Businessman Reese Halperin (Donald Sutherland) and computer programmer Norman Barrie (Paul Mazursky) are two unlikely criminals. They think that their plan to rob a bank is perfect. Halperin is carrying the floor plans when photographer Stacey Bishop (Brooke Adams) takes his picture. He needs the pictures back.

This is a smaller caper film with some great actors. Sutherland and Adams are back together. They have nice chemistry. Adams is adorable. Sutherland is a great leading man. They have a great initial meet-cute although his later anger is a bit too much. A brisk rejection would work better cinematically. I would like the caper to be more interesting. I appreciate the model of the caper at the beginning, but it's not the most illuminating. Marker and paper would be superior. In the end, the caper does not have enough tension. I love these actors. This is one of their lesser movies.
