Robberies Burglaries Heists

01 Dave B's must sees
A morally ambivalent tale of two policemen involved in various battles; for the top job, to put an end to a violent gang, to protect their snitches and, we are led to believe, in the past over a woman. Both policemen bend the laws beyond the limits of decency to achieve their ends in this dark and gun-slinging thriller set against the backdrop of a neon-lit Paris underworld.

Perhaps the most influential period in cinema history was the Italian neo-realism period of the late 40s and director Vittorio De Sica was one of the prime reasons for this important period of film-making. "The Bicycle Thieves" is a film about a poor man whose only means for a job is his bicycle, which gets stolen.

An itchy crew of criminal cronies grab a metro carriage of civilians and demand $1 million ransom, causing the kind of chaos in New York City that a traditional train heist causes the cavalry. But, once they've got the ransom, how on earth do they expect to get away?

THE USUAL SUSPECTS (1995)
Certification18 Our Rating
Definitely THE film of 1995, with the added bonus of bearing up to repeated viewing even when you know the final twist. A tightly scripted, complex and compelling whodunnit which slowly unpeels layer upon layer to reveal the truth behind the opening carnage, and in which nothing is as it seems.

THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT (1974)
Certification18 Our Rating
Thunderbolt is a veteran robber, sharp, cunning and laconic, Lightfoot is young, feisty, good natured and with a gob on him that's in danger of getting him into even more trouble than his thieving ways. Together the two men are on a road trip to regain their misplaced heist, a dangerous task due to the vengeful and brutal nature of the ex-members of their gang. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is an intelligent, fast moving and impressively superior take on the buddy, buddy movie. A fine debut from the
