Unbelievably clunky, a real loser.

I had hopes, but those hopes were coloured by what "TV movie" means in 2020, not what it meant in 1998: No budget, no profanity, no nudity, every possible mobster (and car-in-the-desert) cliche, and a lame, hapless "caper". Oh - and a soundtrack so bad it would embarrass a Lifetime movie. If you want to see what Scheider could do as a good guy facing down some *real* bad guys, go with "52 Pickup". Don't waste your time with this dreck.

Spoiler End of the movie *************

Same ending as 'Jaws'. Roy shoots five times and misses, the car moves towards him, the sixth bullet hits the mark, the baddie dies and the car explodes.

I'm pretty sure it's been done on purpose by the director. It is really too obvious.

Overall a fine little caper, with nice touches of humour and a perfect interpretation. Scheider took a break from the standard action thrillers he used to do in the nineties, the character here, without being utterly original, is not one-dimensional and gives him a chance to show his acting skills.

Nice soundtrack too.

Highly recommended TV movie.

A crime caper that is quite entertaining.

This little crime caper of lost souls and found money is an entertaining twist to a familiar plot. Both Scheider and Braga caught my attention and I thorougly enjoyed watching them team up and manipulate events in a new way. Even Las Vegas looked good.
