Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The characters stay largely undeveloped, while -- despite superficially peculiar features -- the robbery is stripped of the ingenious exposition of the novel.

Connery is one of the best light comedians in the movies, and has been ever since those long-ago days when he was James Bond.

fresh:
he climactic heist of the gold, with Mr. Connery climbing atop the moving railroad cars, ducking under bridges just before a possible decapitation, is marvelous action footage that manages to be very funny as it takes your breath away.

Crichton's films drag in dialog bouts, but triumph when action takes over.
