JUSTIFICATION

My uncle Sid needed hernia surgery.The only folks capable of alleviating the danger pain and and anguish were WASPS who had been graduated from Dartmouth, Yale , Harvard , etc ere Johns Hopkins medical school. What the fxck was I to do. Everyone loved Sid for his benevolence, empathy and selflessnesss. He gave money and concern for those who were in their last terminal straits. So, he participated tangentially in the success of the brinks job and got paid. THOSE WITHOUT SIN MAY CAST THE FIRST STONE.It was with reluctance that we sought the blue=nose help of JOHN's Hopkins. These snobish dimwits didn't botch it and Sid was able to go on to humanitarian bank robberies that benefitted the most needy among us.Only in America.

I like the factual "Dragnet" style

A very 70's TV-cop-story style. It is a "Quinn Martin production" and if you remember "The FBI", "Streets of San Francisco" and his other shows you know what I mean. This seemed like the straight story and made me curious to learn more about the crime. "Just the facts ma'am."

Brink's Robbery

Brink's robbery actually occured in Boston during the early fifties. This was one of the biggest heists ever pulled in the USA. It concerned a big secutiry complex facility, some kind of warehouse, deposit, where armored trucks had their "headquarters". Several movies already spoke about this heist: William Friedkin's BRINK'S JOB, Jerry Hopper's BLUEPRINT FOR A ROBBERY and Joseph Pevney's SIX BRIDGES TO CROSS. Maybe there were more but not of my knowledge, and I am a heist films lover. This one is only a TV movie but with a great quality, very detailed and also focusing on characters. They are not exactly shown as in the other films. Marvin Chomsky was a prolific director for tV industry and this movie proves is great skills.

Very disappointed

I saw this movie just lately for the first time. The Brinks job took place about 20 miles from my house and made the local news for a long time. This movie was very poorly done with the bottom of the barrel production values. It was a total waste of 2 hours of my life. This was typical of most "tv-movies".
