Derek Malcolm Guardian Is this the British Rififi? Unfortunately not, since a flaccid script and unremarkable logistics give a fairly distinguished cast very little indeed to do except look sweaty. Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Alexander Walker London Evening Standard Would you stage a break-in film without first knowing how the hell your heroes got out of the corner they'd plotted themselves into? If you would, then Loophole is your film, but not mine. Its ending isn't a surprise but a total cop-out. Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Madeleine Harmsworth Sunday Mirror (UK) The film holds the attention most of the time but never generates real excitement, and Finney and Sheen are wasted on totally unconvincing characters. Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) Flaccid... [Director John Quested] has assembled a team of actors fit to crack Fort Knox and given them a piggy-bank to break open.

Jason C Finney didn’t seem to say too much but was really good in it. Good exposition of the financial pressure Martin Sheena character was under. Ending was kind of lacking a payoff haha. But hinted at a sequel?! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
