With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among crime fans and anyone after some adrenaline, this one's for you. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Same wavelength as The Asphalt Jungle or Dog Day Afternoon.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 29 min. Done before bedtime.

- Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

The bank's president contacts David Christopher, a former agent with the U.S. Treasury, to help discover who the blackmailer is and to foil his plot.
