On the other hand, I do also really like the complex cross and double cross of David Mamet's HEIST with Gene Hackman or the urban grit of the original 70s version of TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE - Kubrick's KILLING is also pretty hard to beat (and was a big influence on Tarantino's wonderful JACKIE BROWN).Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-50629406258963622662013-09-03T07:38:42.356-04:002013-09-03T07:38:42.356-04:00There are many great ones so it's very hard to...There are many great ones so it's very hard to choose, but TOPKAPI would be up there.Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.com
