TOPKAPI (1964) - July 20, 2004
A decent heist movie by Jules Dassin, director of Rififi (which is probably the best heist movie ever). It was pretty much entertaining, and the heist scene was excellent. However the first hour or so dragged a bit, focusing a bit too much on Peter Ustinov and his wacky exploits, and not enough on the set-up of the heist. Once the heist kicks in the movie picks up quite a bit -- the heist scene was really well done, but I guess that was to be expected. It was certainly no Rififi, but not much is. ***
