“Nothing. A great big nothing. Organized. Scientific. We’re Boston’s finest. We’re dummies.”

Rich man stealing from people still happens today. At least Steve McQueen looks fly doing it. And he’s got a real serious set of rules that everyone and their mother has to follow if they want to keep doing business, however illicit, with him. Almost an autistic set of rules. And he makes sure to get the baddie that’s hunting him down to fall in love with him? A bored rich man can do too much. Far too much.

Not a bad film, just an ok one that relies too heavily on Steve McQueen being cool to carry it. Great music and some interesting camerawork, the heist itself and the set up was class also. But, the remainder felt a little silly as Faye Dunaway cracks the case based on absolutely no evidence and a hunch, and forges some weird romance with McQueen. Also contains the longest chess match of all time all for an on-the-nose metaphor of the situation between the 2 of them.
