This Movie was a hidden Gem i never knew existed. Thanks!
Who’s watching in 2024 I swear to God Cyndi Lauper took me by surprise I never connected the two because of her music videos and how she looked and how she looks here is amazing how versatile I never would’ve put the two together still watching the movie

Who would have thought that Christopher Walken and Cyndi Lauper in a movie? WOW! I actually got to see Cyndi Lauper on stage in Santa Barbara. She is truly an incredible performer. Seems actually an excellent actress also! Yes, I rushed the stage, reached up and she held my hand while she sung for quite some time. Love her!

I thoroughly enjoyed this quaint, understated, little film. A heist film that isn't loud, obnoxious, full of explosions, car chases and foul language. Plus Tom Noonan is a treasure and Cindy Lauper is one gorgeous dame. Definitely worth a look.

Actors like Christopher Walken give convincing performances. Always feel good to watch their movies. Brian Dennehy is another example.

Dennehy is the same in every single movie he was in. Walken is mostly walken through. Good, but he can be better. His best movie was Pennies From Heaven. But he is misused. He should be doing Brecht. He should be Mac the Knife.

Vera Farmiga!!! I absolutely fell in love with her and her blue eyes when she portrayed a Russian prostitute in 2001's "15 Mintues" starring De Niro, Ed Burns, and the late Kelsey Grammer, Karel Roden, and Oleg Taktarov. She is also an elder sister to Taissa Farmiga whom portrayed the daughter in the first serial anthology of American Horror Story entitled "Murder House".
Every time I watch a movie with Christopher Walken in a lead role or a major role, my suspension of disbelief remains completely intact.

This is one of my comfort movies. Admittedly, it's slow and plodding, but CW and CL give wonderful performances. Truth be told, this movie made me fall in love with Cyndi all over again.
It's surprising how many actresses can sing and singers that can act,probably going to the acting schools,they do dance,acting and singing. The true actors is I believe a God given talent... Put on this earth to entertain us, These two are a fine example of that.❤❤
Christopher Walken and Cyndi Lauper; what a treat. I never heard of this movie, but when I saw the billing I figured I can't go wrrong!

Brilliant movie, I think most people will love watching this gem. And great acting from both Christopher Walken and Cindi Lauper. She is a very talented actor as well as her huge musical talent. Would greatly recommend this movie to everyone as well as recommending her music just as much
This was a great watch. Very well written, cast, and edited. When the actors are good, and the material ingenious and cohesive you can get a film like this. It holds the attention without guns and violence, well done by all. Thanks for uploading this.🖤🇨🇦
Very good film. Christopher Walken has a knack for playing oddball roles and Cindy lauper is a stone cold fox. 🦊👍👍👍

Great movie. I'd watch anything with Christopher Walken. Genius actor. He played the best Macbeth I've ever seen. Brilliant. I was terrified that the old woman was Cindi Lauper. Very relieved that it wasn't her. She looks incredible. She's my background music to the 80's. Never seen her in a film before. Why not? She was terrific. Chemistry was great between her and Walken. 👍
Christopher Walken so laid back very mellow kind of guy.
A sweet ending. Not your typical heist moving ending. Enjoyed it!
Watched for Walken, but was rewarded with a neat story and an excellent cast. Many thanks, Screen Blaze.

that is why christopher walken is an actor and not a mechanic

Christopher Walken what can anyone say. This movie is exactly like Ocean's 11 except better. I loved it and I wish it were longer movie or a sequel or a series. This was the most perfect movie.
I really enjoyed seeing Walken and Lauper together. The best, no matter what they do...
I love this movie as much as I love Cindy Lauper. I had such a crush on her when I was growing up in the eighties... Her song true colors r emind's me that I'm a Micmac, a black bird with colored wing's !!! 🤔
