CGiii Comment
They don't make them like this anymore - thank God.
This has the most annoying sound effects of any movie and the Quincy Jones score is tuneless and grating.
The acting - pitiful.
There's a gay cohort (and a neighbour) - both present a pathetic portrayal of gay men.
A hideous film and one that Connery ought to forget - like so many of his other movies.
Dreadful.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
A thief (Duke Anderson) just released from ten years in jail, takes up with his old girlfriend (Ingrid) in her posh apartment. He makes plans to rob the entire building. What he doesn't know is that his every move is recorded on audio and video tape, although he is not the subject of any surveillance.
