Robbery

A year later, Yates will make the most memorable car chase of the movie industry. With that being said, the car chase from the beginning of this movie can keep up with it in every respect: same style, only with a different iconic ride. And everything what makes Bullitt's case great, makes Robbery case great too. It´s just in a form of team heist genre movie and not a rough police crime movie. In other words, even here, the camera is intoxicated for long minutes by stubbornly silent professionals, who carefully perform their work step by step with icy calm and are damn good at it. Which results in one of the best (and definitely the most stylish) genre movies ever, which, however, is partially spoilt by too long footage. The opening diamond robbery and the iconic action on the railway are absolutely stunning. Even so stunning so that the local procedurally and even realistically documented "Greengrass event", for its intense subliminal nerve-racking tension and dynamics, could serve as a model for all genre movies of a similar kind. Unfortunately, there are also sequences "between the actions and after them", which are, after all, a bit more standard and lengthy than would be appropriate for a similarly exceptional film. In any case, (not only) a genre must watch. That´s for sure. (30/01/2017)
