5.0 out of 5 stars great crime caper flick, July 9, 2001

By	W. K. Miller "kenmiller32" (NC, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Brink's Job movie is about the 1950 Brink's robbery in Boston. Peter Falk, Peter Boyle, and Paul Sorvino (yes, Paul Sorvino, MANY years before Goodfellas), are three of the low level crooks who mastermind the robbery of a Brink's location in Boston.

Brinks Job is funny and entertaining, and at times it is edge-of-your-seat exciting. There is great dialogue throughout, especially from Peter Falk's character, Tony Pino. There are superb supporting performances throughout. The plot moves in a great rhythm; it held my interest from start to finish. The movie really had the flavor of Boston, too.

I am a fan of many of the actors in this, such as Gena Rowlands, also wonderful as Tony Pino's wife. Sheldon Leonard turns in a good performance in a smaller role as J. Edgar Hoover.

After I watched the film, I read that Brink's Job was directed by William Friedkin, director of French Connection and The Exorcist, two more great movies of that era. It's no surprise that Brink's Job turned out so well.

If you like crime caper movies, you ought to take a look at Brink's Job.

5.0 out of 5 stars DVD Please, May 23, 2005

By	Vinny (New York, New York USA) - See all my reviews

A classic comedy about the world famous robbery. Peter Falk is a petty thief who realizes how easy it would be to rob the Brinks company. "I own this joint" Falk says after he takes his crew through the building on a tour to prepare for when they will come back. Where is the DVD of this movie? Very funny and well acted by a cast of name actors, Peter Falk, Peter Boyle, Warren Oates, Paul Sorvino etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fairly Entertaining Film, March 15, 2004

By	Peter Kenney (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Brink's Job [VHS] (VHS Tape)

THE BRINK'S JOB is a suspenseful crime film inspired by the sensational Brink's robbery in Massachusetts after World War II. In some respects it is reminiscent of TOKAPI.Peter Falk heads an excellent cast which also includes Warren Oates, Peter Boyle, Alan Garfield, Paul Servino and Gena Rowlands. Warren Oates plays the part of the infamous Specs O'Keefe.

THE DEER HUNTER dominated the Academy Awards competition in 1978. THE BRINK'S JOB failed to receive any nominations but it was still a fairly entertaining movie.
