Bruce M @BruceMc Aug 15 Not a heist movie so much as it is an unfunny farce, filled with overactive acting and a terrible score. However, an extra point for Joanna Cassidy, who has never looked more beautiful.

Scott (with very silly eyebrows and playing the same character Robert Redford played in "The Hot Rock") breaking out of prison and hatching a scheme to steal an entire bank building. It's a comedy that won't blow you away, but it's entertaining enough if you're in the moody for a caper comedy. Joanna Cassidy, Sorrell Booke, Bob Balaban and Frank McRae also appear in the film.

In return, Ballentine is so impressed with the plan that he pulls off a daring escape the following day with a little help from Eleonora(Joanna Cassidy). Once in Los Angeles, they are joined by Carp's nephew Victor(Bob Balaban, incredibly young), formerly of the FBI, where Ballentine decides that the best way to rob the bank is to steal the entire building. "Bank Shot" is an often amusing piece of nonsense, that succeeds best when it does not try so hard, crossing the line from the silly to the absurd. I suppose most people would make George C. Scott the straight man here with such a motley circus of characters but Ballentine is as much a nut, no matter how seriously he takes his job; so it works, along with a few masterful shot compositions. In any case, the movie made me laugh and that's the important thing, right?
