It was those controversial events in 1972 that caught the eye completely. It's the story of that gang of thieves that made a big noise. The powerful gang close to Johnstown, Ohio, planned to steal $ 30 million. It may be very strange when it comes to illegal contributions and the extortion of funds from President Richard Nixon's secret fund, which is controversial.
Veteran director Johnson knows to prioritize his characters instead of his own cleverness, while Enzo's motivating anger about bad men like Nixon reaching the highest levels of power without being punished for their crimes has a resonance today.
A likable cast and a fascinating, mostly forgotten story - about an attempt to steal millions of dollars of illegal presidential campaign contributions - keep the movie engaging, but can't compensate for the waste of a promising premise.
[Finding Steve McQueen tells the story of] one of the most extraordinary robberies in history... although you don't believe it. [Full reviewin Spanish]
[Director Mark Steven Johnson takes] what would have been a rather bland heist story and mix it with a mediocre love story to create an enjoyable final product. It's an example of getting the most out of the material at hand.
Unfortunately, despite the fascinating story that provides its inspiration and a solid cast, the pic provides neither sufficient thrills nor humor to make it anything more than a minor diversion.
