Plot
Joe Moore (Hackman) heads a group of professional thieves, which includes Bobby Blane (Lindo), Don 'Pinky' Pincus (Jay), and Joe's wife Fran (Pidgeon). During a mid-morning robbery of a jewelry store, Joe's picture is captured on a security camera, leading him to choose an early retirement. That doesn't sit well with Bergman (DeVito), Joe's fence, who, after accruing a number of expenses in setting up another robbery, denies Joe and his crew their payment and presses them into taking on the other job -- the hijacking of a Swiss airplane carrying a large shipment of gold. With Bergman's hotheaded nephew Jimmy Silk (Rockwell) reluctantly brought into the fold, Joe and his crew agree to pull off the caper, but a series of shifting loyalties amongst thieves changes the whole complexion of their task.
Essentially
a re-examination of Mamet's favorite device, the confidence game, the film was
more of a success with critics than audiences. Roger Ebert is among the film's
admirers, praising not only Mamet's trademark verbal constructions ("Everybody
wants money -- that's why they call it money!") and restrained approach to
on-screen gunplay, but also the care that the director takes in shaping the relationships
between the principals.
