Bank - robbery - tunnel In the mid-90s, Menachem Golan shot three films with Oliver Reed with the participation of partners from the post-Soviet space. This led to a paradox: paintings that can be attributed to both Belarusian and Russian co-production were created with a really famous performer in the lead role, but not at all expressive.
The film is about a bank robbery. We are shown the actions of the criminals, their training, the reaction of the hostages and the plan for their departure. Is it happening?
Within the framework of the review format, it is not enough to simply write that the tape is bad and devoid of expressiveness. Let’s write it down in detail.
Okay. First of all, it concerns the plot of the film. He's not attractive. Well, robbery. The bank. Criminals and hostages. All this in itself is not exciting.
No less dim look interiors and camera work. Most of the shooting takes place in the office, but the choice of plans is so clumsy that the effect of claustrophobia or “expansion” of space and speech is not conducted.
And finally, let’s turn to the main gem of the tape – Oliver Reed. He is a very worthy actor who, despite numerous rumors about alcoholism, always sought to give a performance worthy of a high artist. But within the given framework, he simply did not turn around. Several appearances in the frame. That's all I've done.
In fact, we are faced with a very bad performance. An international group of filmmakers, hiding behind several famous personalities, hastily shot the picture, apparently not even working through the minimum average level of the tape.
