I also sensed a lot of condescension from you. I just can't find the reason to justify watching it again. All in all, I'd like to sincerely like it. Eager to make one last big score in order to begin. As far as * everything but the visuals, it doesn't really draw me in that much either be it the Seinfeld effect, or be it just me not rolling with it an not being engaged, but nothing in the film really hooked me in. A highly skilled jewel thief, Frank (James Caan) longs to leave his dangerous trade and settle down with his girlfriend, Jessie (Tuesday Weld).

If your job was to convince me that I should care, when I was apathetic, what would you say? What is there that can convince me that this isn't a yet another cookie cutter movie from the 80's, because at least visually, it looks painfully stuck in that decade, not having aged particularly well over all this time. All the tension, the buildup, the politics, and then it seemed like I either missed something that was totally crucial to making me appreciate it, or was underwhelmed by anticipating more than what the film would deliver. Primer I'm not averted to rerouting 100% of power to attention. Movies that mindfuck you into oblivion, I also love, e.g. VHS trailer for the 1981 crime classic Thief, here under the international title Violent Streets, directed by Michael Mann and starring James Caan. I will similarly eat up crime films, be it of the caper kind, the comedy, or akin to the category of films where nothing ever happens, crime films where nothing ever happens (like say, Zodiac). I'll eat up La Dolce Vita or La Grande Belleza any day of the week.
That's the thing with me though, I LOVE films where nothing ever happens, and will gladly take all the talky scenes over explosions.
