star and a half maltin review be a bit discourage for watch the split . and yet it great to say that maltin be horribly wrong in his case and sibce the split deliver load of cool soft noir . gordon flemyng and the british film and tv veteran shape a posh and groovy heist flick about a post robbery split go bad . the cast be masterful and jim brown do a great wastlake or stark character up there with lee marvin in point blank and mel gibson in the payback . the rest of the cast include such hard ass like gene hackman and donald sutherland and warren oates and ernest borgnine . so the movie emanate great energy on screen and flemyng cut it with typical british elegance and smart and sharp decision . maybe the split felt too calculate to maltin and but to me and it represent the era when hollywood entertainment still manage to assuredly deliver the authentic exploitation of a formula .
