Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Goodtimes Home Video? Avoid this release!
Goodtimes had a deal with Columbia, and later MCA/Universal to make cheap EP prints for sellthru while the two studios made SP quality versions for the rental market. Here's the link to the Wikipedia article that confirms I'm telling the truth. By the way, they recently finally went bankrupt.

These are BAD prints. Go for the MCA/Universal sold
in another listing. MUCH better print in quality SP mode.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Boost the best....
Other reviews are right on the money. Brinks got kicked in the teeth cause they let their guard down. Some petty operators were able to boost the money becuase Brinks relied on their big name and past success to intimidate would-be crooks. I heard these guys lived on the money the rest of their lives without showing off. The film is great and the times are captured flawlessly in the sets and the language.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - DVD Please
A classic comedy about the world famous robbery. Peter Falk is a petty thief who realizes how easy it would be to rob the Brinks company. "I own this joint" Falk says after he takes his crew through the building on a tour to prepare for when they will come back. Where is the DVD of this movie? Very funny and well acted by a cast of name actors, Peter Falk, Peter Boyle, Warren Oates, Paul Sorvino etc.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Fairly Entertaining Film
THE BRINK'S JOB is a suspenseful crime film inspired by the sensational Brink's robbery in Massachusetts after World War II. In some respects it is reminiscent of TOKAPI.Peter Falk heads an excellent cast which also includes Warren Oates, Peter Boyle, Alan Garfield, Paul Servino and Gena Rowlands. Warren Oates plays the part of the infamous Specs O'Keefe.

THE DEER HUNTER dominated the Academy Awards competition in 1978. THE BRINK'S JOB failed to receive any nominations but it was still ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great crime caper flick
The Brink's Job movie is about the 1950 Brink's robbery in Boston. Peter Falk, Peter Boyle, and Paul Sorvino (yes, Paul Sorvino, MANY years before Goodfellas), are three of the low level crooks who mastermind the robbery of a Brink's location in Boston.

Brinks Job is funny and entertaining, and at times it is edge-of-your-seat exciting. There is great dialogue throughout, especially from Peter Falk's character, Tony Pino. There are superb supporting performances throughout. The plot ... Read More
