A very good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I had it on DVD, I was really eager to check it out again. Well, even though Stanley Kubrick had already directed a few movies before, it was really with this directing effort that he started to display the extent of his talent, becoming one of the most exciting upcoming directors. From this movie and during the following 40 years, each and every movie he will deliver afterwards would turn out to be pretty much amazing which is something no other director has ever managed to achieve. Coming back to our main feature, sure, it was probably not one of Kubrick's very best movies but it was still one of the best heist movies I have seen. Indeed, back then, Kubrick was already displaying some impressive directing skills and his obsessive eye for details. The only flaw would be towards the end when most of characters are all killed within seconds during some massive shoot-out. Until that moment, everything was just so tight and so well put together but this scene didn't really work and felt like a rather cheap way to tie up most of the loose ends. Anyway, to conclude, the whole thing was still pretty damned entertaining and spellbinding to watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Stanley Kubrick's work.
