The First Great Train Robbery

Adventure Sutherland and Connery wish to rob a moving train's safe in Victorian England. They need wax impressions of keys, coffins, dead cats, and a great deal of planning in order to pull it off.
Media Author Review
United Kingdom
Empire
"Crichton is after a giggly quality as if it's being told as a pub yarn"
United States
Variety
"Crichton's films drag in dialog bouts, but triumph when action takes over."
United States
The New York Times
"The Great Train Robbery is classy entertainment of the sort I associate exclusively with movies."
United States
The New Yorker
"There's a total absence of personal obsession - even moviemaking obsession - in the way Crichton works; he never excites us emotionally or imaginatively, but the film has a satisfying, tame luxuriousness"
United Kingdom
Time Out
"The characters stay largely undeveloped, while - despite superficially peculiar features - the robbery is stripped of the ingenious exposition of the novel to become just another heist"
