Robbery
Inspired by true events (the great train robbery of 1963) Robbery is an uncompromising portrayal of swinging London's criminal underworld. Paul Clifton has assembled a team of highly skilled thieves and plans a daring heist with intricate precision. Although a preliminary robbery to raise funds results in the arrest of one of their members, Clifton believes things can still go off without a hitch. However, little by little, piece by piece, adjustments are made to the original watertight plan and things threaten to unravel... Starring Stanley Baker (Zulu, Guns Of Navarone), Frank Finlay (Shaft In Africa, The Wild Geese), Barry Foster (Twisted Nerve, Van Der Valk) and William Marlowe (Get Carter, The Chief), Robbery is an entertaining and archetypal entry into the genre of British Gangster Movies.

Heavy-going fictionalized account of the famous train robbery of 1963; best seen as standard cops and robbers, with some good chase sequences.

Dated sleaze
While at the time this would have resonated with a public still shocked at the great train robbery of 1963, 'Robbery' has dated rather poorly and its ... read more »
