Holy damn that might have been the worst "great" classic movie I've ever seen (Yeah, I'm aware of the Oscar-winning song and the then-cutting edge cinematography)... Two hours of plot holes wider than the Grand Canyon!
Shall I list my gripes here, or would they be better served in the sub-forums?

The insignia behind the front wheels indicate that the car is equipped with a 390.

(55,445 posts)I *WAS* more than a little curious as to why there was no order or command to get rid of the wagon after the dropoff, especially after a major heist supposedly planned down to the last detail. I'm also curious to know why Crown would even hire an obviously nervous and easily rattled driver because they tend to be huge liabilities when captured... And how the hell does Thomas "Nothing to Connect Me to the Crime" Crown even find these heist partners in the first place? And what fuckin' criminal worth his rap sheet would agree to get his payout in goddamned INSTALLMENTS(!) after knocking over one of the biggest banks in the city??
