Smooth crime caper flick with Connery .

The characters stay largely undeveloped, while -- despite superficially peculiar features -- the robbery is stripped of the ingenious exposition of the novel.

Lumbers along at a dull pace.

Crichton's films drag in dialog bouts, but triumph when action takes over.

he climactic heist of the gold, with Mr. Connery climbing atop the moving railroad cars, ducking under bridges just before a possible decapitation, is marvelous action footage that manages to be very funny as it takes your breath away.

Imbued with the spirit of the '60s and '70s counterculture.

Excellent period film featuring great performances by Connery and Sutherland. Crichton's direction builds some very tense moments, particularly in the execution of the robbery, but the movie isn't too serious to throw in an occasional gag. Deserves to be

Crichton is after a giggly quality as if it's being told as a pub yarn, soaked in exaggeration and acute trickery to defeat impossible hurdles, while never far from redoubtable moral lesson.

Amiable enough, but as heist films go this is well below average.

Connery is one of the best light comedians in the movies, and has been ever since those long-ago days when he was James Bond.
