CGiii Comment

With 2 macho-screen legends, it is hard to see the CGiii - BUT - 2 old robbers/cellmates are released from prison after 30 years - all those years together...

Although not stated, you just know they were bumming each other from day one.

It's all very harmless and cutesy - but the gay bar sequence and all the other characters are just a little hard to digest.

Legends they may have been...

The(ir) Blurb...

Let's count the ways; A parole officer who is a famous criminal groupie, Dead end where people don't know they are dealing with dangerous, though older, criminals, a hit man who can barely see, but who still has an outstanding contract on them. Does anyone still rob trains?
