Movie Reviews of Great St. Louis Bank Robbery, The
Movie Review: Dark, Disturbing, and Fascinating
Summary: 4 Stars
I must say I found the movie to be much more interesting than the other reviewers. If your a fan of Mid- Century Crime movies such as "Odds Against Tomorrow" you will like this one. Characters range from psyco to sordid and sad. I'm not familiar with the director or the other actors besides McQueen, but the performaces are complex and outstanding. Cinematography is reminiscient of old "Highway Patrol" TV series. Recurring rockabilly song heard in background on car radio, jukebox, etc. Interesting look at 1950's St. Louis. One daring and creepy aspect of the movie is the homosexuality of the dominant, psyco leader of the group, John Egan. He and Willie's relationship is alluded to as beginning in prison, and Egan holds his attraction to the McQueen character as a threat over Willie's head, which leads to Willie's animosity toward McQueen, who seems to start to catch on to it at the end. McQueen's girlfriend's realization of Egan's homosexual attraction to McQueen on a fire escape with Egan leads to her downfall.
