Charlie Adamo (Peter Falk) is the mob's new representative on the West Coast. He muscles in on casino owner Abe Stilberman. Hank McCain (John Cassavetes) is released from prison after 12 years for armed robbery. He is picked up by his small-time criminal son Jack who somehow has a plan to rob a casino. Hank spots hottie Irene Tucker (Britt Ekland) with two jerks in a bar.
Irene is more like an object. She barely has any agency. I can accept that characterization, but she's not more than one dimensional. I like the father and son dynamics. I would like more done with that premise. Jack could stay in the heist. Maybe he would bumble the caper and that would be more interesting. As it stands, this is fine if a bit flat.
