Good old school crime film from the late sixties, pulled by an excellent directing and acting too. John Cassavettes is awesome in this role of an ex con planning a casino robbery. It is desperate, violent, predictable but, for those who like this kind of movie, it's just what they wait for. Rather faithful to the Ovid Demaris novel too. Perfect ending, twilight in the sun. After THE GRAND SLAM, Guliano Montaldo did not deceive me, on the contrary. Faithfully adapted from Ovid Demaris' book, a writer specialized in mafia stories, well documented from this former investigator journalist.
