The Great Train Robbery

CriticsCritics: 71
AudienceAudience: 6.8

In Victorian England, a charming master thief assembles a small team to steal gold from a guarded moving train. To make the seemingly impossible heist work, they must outwit high society, obtain several separately held keys, and coordinate an elaborate plan.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like witty period capers, charismatic rogues, and elaborate schemes in the spirit of Maverick; Not for you if you want consistently serious suspense or a fast-moving story.
