Preston Foster plays the mastermind who plans a bank heist and recruits his team separately from one another. He insists that everyone must wear a mask at all times so that nobody can identify anyone else. Innocent John Payne (Joe) is falsely accused of the robbery and once he is released, he makes it his mission to track down who is responsible for framing him.

The film follows the pattern of stakeout, recruitment and robbery in the first section. We then follow Payne's storyline and we end up in a small Mexican town waiting for everyone to reveal themselves to one another and share out the loot. You just sense that there is something a bit tricky about mastermind Foster.

This is an intense film with absolutely zero jolly bits in it and many fight sequences. That loses a mark for me. It also doesn't make much sense. But that's ok as the story carries you along with the action. The female roles are purely incidental which is a shame and I think that there should have been more made of the mask-wearing in the second half of the film once in Mexico. They were creepy masks.

My friend once put on a balaclava mask to nick a bottle of wine from an off-licence. It was so obviously him, though, especially as he had just been refused the sale about five minutes earlier. He left the shop, put on the mask and returned to nick it. And he is really tall! However, I'm not sure that he had a bottle opener.
