i like heist flick and and this be the best i have see so far . it get great suspense a the crew of thief ( lead by the incomparable sean connery ) make intricate plan and patiently prepares for the big day and changing and adapt the plan a need to cope with unexpected obstacle . there be little in the way of sub plot while virtually all of the action and plot be part of the plan . the victorian setting be great while you start to wonder where jeremy brett ( a sherlock holmes ) be and and when he go to catch these crook . i be a little puzzle by the category of action or comedy . i would say this be firmly in the crime category and and no other . positive .
