When a group of Vietnam vets holds up a bank in downtown Los Angeles, the cops close in fast, apprehending all of them except for Jack Murdock (Bo Svenson). Jack drops his cut of the money into a mailbox and, coming back later, finds he has to wait until midnight for a postman to unlock it. He lingers nearby and meets neighborhood girl Mary Jane (Cybill Shepherd) who saw him stash the loot. She wants a cut, and Jack reluctantly agrees, unaware that she's not the only one who saw him.

…with lively leads in Svenson and Shepherd, and a gritty feel to the action, Special Delivery is better than its non-existent reputation might suggest…

Rated: 3/5

[Cybill Shepherd and Bo Svenson] don't make much of a team in Special Delivery, which is often silly and almost always a bit hare-brained.

Rated: 2.5/5

A so-so zany comic melodrama about a botched robbery.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

It starts good (as a 3 stars movie, with an elegant bank robbery), but interest decays as the movie goes on.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Four Vietnam vets rob a bank with only one escaping police but also needing to dump his loot in a mailbox with another party knowing its contents. Good film where I never lost interest and some interesting subplots including the street thugs.

Diverging interests converge on a mailbox holding stolen loot from a bank heist. This one exceeded expectations. Cybill and Svenson work well together and benefits from a tight fast-paced timeframe. Features a few recognizable faces in bit parts.
