Low budgeted, yes....but still pretty entertaining.
Despite a rather low budget and mostly actors you probably are not familiar with, this is a decent police drama.
The story begins with a robbery of a valuable painting and the getaway part is interesting...the thief leaves via a helicopter late in the night. After investigating, the police are able to determine that a helicopter must have been used. In the meantime, the thief has contacted the company that has insured the painting and the man who owned it...demanding ransom. Can the police get back this painting AND catch the man responsible?
The film is not a film noir caper, but a rather straight forward police film. The only real gimmick is the use of helicopters both to commit the crime and catch the thief. Well worth seeing, though not a must-see either.
