Plot

An American talks a retired French crook into robbing a bank, but kidnappers demand the loot as ransom.

Sinekatalog’s take

A retired French crook is talked into a bank job by an American, then the loot is claimed by kidnappers as ransom. It is a brisk, twisty heist-meets-abduction caper that favours plot mechanics over depth, decent for fans of vintage crime thrillers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
