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. Go to Full Review Alexander Walker London Evening Standard 04/07/2022
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. Go to Full Review Madeleine Harmsworth Sunday Mirror (UK) 04/07/2022
The film holds the attention most of the time but never generates real excitement, and Finney and Sheen are wasted on totally unconvincing characters. Go to Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) 04/07/2022
Flaccid... [Director John Quested] has assembled a team of actors fit to crack Fort Knox and given them a piggy-bank to break open. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jason C 11/22/2024 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?! See more Read all reviews
