This is a very watchable and enjoyable film, which is a shame, because it shouldn't be. It's a case of the criminals as heroes and the law as villains. First of all we are asked to identify with McVicar and chums, then we are presented with that "one last job" and then finally we have some writing at the end to indicate he changed his ways; just a little fig leaf of an inscription after two hours of movie time. Let's just say that maybe the film-makers erred in a similar way to Scorsese with Goodfellas. Let's say they didn't mean to glorify gangsters, but they just made some wrong creative decisions. That's fair isn't it?
