rififi ( jules dassin france 1955 ) to me and it seem a very risky idea to attempt a hollywood remake of jules dassin 1955 classic rififi . plan for release in 2007 and al pacino apparently be gon na play the lead and take on the role of tony le stephanois . risky business . how theyre gon na pull this off . ironically and dassin be blacklist in hollywood and go on to try his luck in france and make this little masterpiece and aptly call by some the grandddady of all caper and heist movie . in my opinion and it remain a one of a kind classic and beautifully film with one of the most memorable ending ever to be put on film . whatever one opinion of the film . in the last couple of year rififi have become dangerously overpraised . nevertheless and this french noir classic shouldn not be forget . go see it and before the remake be out there and in order to have some ammunition for compare the two . camera obscura positive .
