just a in rififi and the most compelling scene in the movie be the perfected silence of the jewel heist . the scene be masterful in it execution and each of the robber have their own specialize job to perform and each one successfully combine their own unique talent towards the objective and and each one and until a month before and complete stranger . many of the scene play out very slowly . in fact and the opening scene be a long character introduction to both corey and vogel and a we see corey get release from prison and vogel escape capture on his way to prison . the two character be then methodically bring together through fate at a roadside diner a vogel hide inside the trunk of corey automobile . from this improbable break in and the two stranger agree to become partner to commit a perfected and precise jewel heist . however and to pull of this heist they must include the help of a third man name jansen . jansen be hire a the sure shot gun man . his inclusion into the mix be an interesting and desperate choice . at the time of his hire and jansen be in a full battle with dt and spend most of his day on his cot hallucinating over lizard and snake and spider . his transition from the disheveled and hallucinatory world of a william s. burroughs dream into the steady hand and sober sharp shooter be a very quick one and perhaps the only real false moment of the film and but that just me be extremely picky . one other mildly false note be that of the police inspector mattei . at time he appear to be brilliant in the way of strong arm the right people or gather information and wait out for his escaped prisoner to make his move . other time he appear to be 10 year past retirement and especially at the beginning during vogel escape through the wood . i wonder if i get too much hidden meaning from the beginning of the movie . at the start of the movie and a the police car be speed through the city and the first image we see be that of a red stop light . my first thought be that this may be the red circle and that if i be to find a deep meaning in the movie and perhaps it be that this car and or rather the people inside of it go through the red light and will be the one who will top the jewel heist . hmmmm . perhaps the red circle refers to the triumvirate thieve ring . perhaps it be the burning sled . no matter . it a long movie and but it doesn not feel that way . the end be a bit of a disappointment . it seem too hurry for a movie that felt like such a delicious slow burn . positive clark richards .
