This is a film that somehow I hadn't heard about despite it being around for over 30 years now. I decided to give it a go, and I am glad I did. Walken and Penn give fantastic acting performances. However, the actual story, despite being based on a true story, is not quite memorable, and is not one that will stick with you, or provide any profound experiences. Saying that, it is still an entertaining ride, and any chance to see Walken be a bad a-ss is always welcome.

@drjoyce I mostly agree, but I would give it lower score. It feels like there are many characters and none of them gets a lot of development. Maybe a movie with less characters would have work better. Plus the ending feels a little rushed up, like they needed a moral ending to the story. I'm sure the [spoiler] group of thieves have to deal with people being in prison before, it seems a little bit forced that suddenly they need to go ballistic on the bunch of kids [/spoiler]. Also, the soundtrack seems to repeat itself in the moments of tension (which makes the final product feel "cheap").
