Plot
Two disillusioned New York policemen plan a $10 million robbery to fuel their low pensions, only to run into one debacle after another in the process.
Sinekatalog’s take
A New York crime comedy where two cops plan a giant robbery for their pensions and everything goes wrong. Wry, brisk and cynical. Pleasant for fans of seventies capers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
