Despite the all-star cast, this is a poorly constructed and rather uneven film.
We think that Gary Lockwood is money crazy and that's why he plants his girlfriend in the office of Lee J. Cobb, so as to get the necessary information and rob the truck filled with cash.
We see the disaster of a robbery for the thieves at the beginning. Only towards the end do we find out who the slain older man was in relation to Farris. No, it wasn't his father.
For a change, Jack Palance plays an honest person, the man from the insurance company. Give Palance's roles, you expect him to break out any moment and reveal his true nature. Perhaps, that's why I didn't like this film. Both Palance and Lee J. Cobb, the latter the owner of the security firm, are both given very little to do here. Elke Sommer surrendered her good girl often foolish roles to play the girlfriend recruited for the plot.
The picture can become winding as it again proves that there is no honor among thieves.
