Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Racy script by Donald Westlake about two of New York's finest who decide that their uniforms and badges give them an ideal camouflage for pursuing extra-legal activities. They proceed to perpetrate one of the most spectacular securities heists Wall Street has ever seen. There's an added twist as the cops also try to rip off the Mafia men to whom they're supposed to fence the proceeds of their crime. An insubstantial film, rather clumsily edited, but pleasant enough, especially for those who dislike violence and love happy endings.Author: MHo
