Three fraternal bank robbers, languishing in jail, discover a profitable (if not dodgy) way to spend their time. Crime can most certainly pay, if you "know wot I mean?" However when sex and greed rear-up between the good crims and the bad cops, the consequences are both bizarre and fatal.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It is at most a middling effort.
– Bill Muller,

fresh:
The movie-jaded will dismiss The Hard Word as just another slick heist flick with a band of burglar buddies. Too bad for their cynical souls. They'll be missing a grand (theft) time.
– Michael Booth,
Denver Post,
31 Jul 2003
fresh:
Roberts stuffs the film with clever twists that keep us one step behind the plot, which is where you want to be in a heist picture.
– Roger Moore,
Orlando Sentinel,

fresh:
Just when you think you've got it all figured out, there's another disorienting jolt.
– Tom Maurstad,

fresh:
'Amiable' is an odd way to describe a crime drama that contains wall-spattering amounts of bloodshed, but it fits The Hard Word.
