Not PRIZE OF ARMS nor RIFIFI but still worth the watch
Director Cliff Owen gave us PRIZE OF ARMS, one year later, a terrific heist film starring Stanley Baker several years before ROBBERY. This movie - PRIZE OF ARMS - was absolutely stunning and any other crime film made by this director could not be better. That doesn't mean that DEVIL INSIDE - OFFBEAT- is lower in efficiency, quality. It is just different, and more in the line of what the crime intrigues usually are. It remains a tremendous British crime thriller that deserves to be seen. But, in France, a very few movie goers know this movie. Many audiences will prefer PRIZE OF ARMS. I belong to them, but please, watch this one. Also a major RIFIFI heist influence. Light hearted but also a bittersweet.
