Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Legendary actors in shallow movie
It's a treat seeing Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas bring their effortless charm and charisma to the big screen once again, but unfortunately this movie is too self aware of their legendary status.
The joke here, is that they have been in prison for 30 years for robbing a train, and are now let out to be bewildered by the modern world.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A 'Must See" For "Wannabee Movie Stars"!!!RIP Mr. Lancaster
This movie stars two of the Icons from the Golden Age Of Cinema namely Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster.

This movie is a wonderful refreshing change from the Hollywood norm of Youth, Youth and yet MORE tiresome Youth on our screens. ... Read More

The plot is predictable and unimaginative. The acting, however, is strong in spite of the weak ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Watch it if it comes on TNT.
This movie is hilarious because it is now 2004. I watched it the other day and really enjoyed. However, I would never buy it. If it comes on TV in the next ten years, I'll be content. I will say that the scene in the ice cream store is incredibly funny. That kid has some great lines.
