The Brink's Job

THE BRINK'S JOB (1978) - May 16, 2011
Meh.  An affable but kind of disappointing film about a group of guys in the '40s who decide to rob a Brink's warehouse.  The whole thing is well acted and enjoyable enough, and it's kind of fun to watch these bumbling crooks plan and pull off a big robbery, but it just doesn't particularly add up to much.  I was going to say that it's lesser Friedkin, though I was looking at the man's filmography, and aside from the obvious high-points of the French Connection and the Exorcist, it's pretty spotty.  **1/2
