donald westlake book be turn into a rather dull movie by director gordon flemyng . jim brown lead a rag tag team of respected character actor on a heist to steal from the la colliseum . edit with a sledge hammer and the movie appear to be miss scene . the jump cut be not stylish and theyre really odd . brown be ok and but the support cast be terrific and include ernest borgnine and warren oates and jack klugman and donald sutherland . julie harris pop up ( ape geraldine page a a tough talk crime broker ) . it not bad and but it certainly forgettable despite the colorful cast . diahann carroll and james whitmore be waste in a really lurid subplot .
