      Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Innocuous French-Italian neo noir crime film remake. Rated: C Jan 27, 2023 Full Review Robert Sullivan Los Angeles Free Press The film has a number of imaginative moments, but it has enough unimaginative moments to make the overall film fairly forgettable. Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Maureen Koch Los Angeles Free Press I hoped that [Dyan Cannon's] newest role in The Burglars would be something we could all sink our teeth into, including Dyan... Alas, this is still a beautiful lady waiting for a real vehicle, an Ann-Margret before Carnal Knowledge. Jan 6, 2020 Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press Sharif at one point is given a chance to mount a horse. He sits a horse well. That is about all he does well. In a long series of wooden performances this one is the most splintery yet. Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

      Ron W Good watchable movie a bit dated still worth a watch Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic stuff Cracking car chase and Belmondo does all his own stunts!!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/17/22 Full Review Audience Member I had never really seen Jean-Paul Belmondo in something of an action role, so this was a bit of an eye-opener for me, and I'm happy to have grabbed it off the TCM recording roster. Well worth a rental if you have the chance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member There's a good cast (Jean-Paul Belmondo, Omar Sharif, Dyan Cannon), one good car chase early on, and a good Ennio Morricone score, but not much else beyond that. From a David Goodis crime novel, this Greece set crime story is strictly minor league when compared to "Shoot the Piano Player." Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member not as good as the 1957 version of this Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I think I said it before, but one of the best car chase scenes ever! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
