    Scrolled past this a million times on prime. I didn’t realise that Kubrick was at the helm and Stirling Hayden was leading the cast.

    I’m such a fan of movies that go head first into genre/style without a hint of sarcasm or ‘meta’ness or snark. Like it’s just totally sincere. It’s a heist movie where the guy is trying to win his wife back, that’s all it is. And I love it.
