They Came to Rob Las Vegas Audience Reviews

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
kapelusznik18 ****SPOILERS*** Glitzy and dazzling as well as totally confusing robbery caper that ends up with what looks like a nuclear explosion in the Nevada Desert. Garry Lockwood as Tony Ferris is down back on earth fresh from his success in the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". Tony is the main man in this caper that has to do with the robbery of an impregnable Skorsky armored truck of its $7.000.000.00 in cash as well as gold bars headed for safe keeping at the 1st Nevada Saving Bank in Carson City. Tony had planned this robbery well using the president of Skorsky Armored Trucks Steve Sorsky. Lee J. Cobb,private secretary the sexy blond Ann Bennett, Elke Sommers, to tip him off when the truck is going to leave as well as what route it will take.Getting together a crew to pull off the heist Tony has other reasons, with those working for him not knowing about it, to knock off the armored truck and it doesn't have anything to do with money but personal revenge: It was Tony's brother Gino, Jean Servais, who tried to rob a Skorsky armored truck two years ago in San Francisco and ended up, together with his crew, killed. Now Tony who always lived in his brother Gino's shadows whats to prove to himself that he can succeed where his big brother Gino didn't. Thrown into the mix is US Treasury Agent Douglas, Jack Palance, who's been on Steve Skorsky's case for the last six months in suspecting that he's been laundering mob money from the Las Vegas's casinos to supplement his high flying & jet-set lifestyle that his trucking business , with all the money it makes , can't quite keep up with!The movie gets carried away with the overlong robbery that after the Skorsky truck was captured it took more then half of the remaining time in the movie to crack it open. With almost all the robbery crew dead as well as those in the truck who had enough food water and oxygen to last for 72 hours joining them. With one surprise after another the film ended with a big bang that rivaled the Trinity Bomb explosion back in 1945 that woke up those of us watching who in how confusing the movie was had trouble staying awake.P.S The big star of the film Gary Lockwood just dropped off the radar screen after making this overcooked turkey of and movie and never quit made it back to the big screen again. Lockwood ended up doing bit and guest parts on TV series that never had him use his full talents as an actor that he showed earlier in his film career.
edwagreen Despite the all-star cast, this is a poorly constructed and rather uneven film.We think that Gary Lockwood is money crazy and that's why he plants his girlfriend in the office of Lee J. Cobb, so as to get the necessary information and rob the truck filled with cash.We see the disaster of a robbery for the thieves at the beginning. Only towards the end do we find out who the slain older man was in relation to Farris. No, it wasn't his father.For a change, Jack Palance plays an honest person, the man from the insurance company. Give Palance's roles, you expect him to break out any moment and reveal his true nature. Perhaps, that's why I didn't like this film. Both Palance and Lee J. Cobb, the latter the owner of the security firm, are both given very little to do here. Elke Sommer surrendered her good girl often foolish roles to play the girlfriend recruited for the plot.The picture can become winding as it again proves that there is no honor among thieves.
snowcop18 This gets a 4 for some great set decor and Vegas-in-the-60's pastiche. It's filled with cliché Euro-perceptions about American culture and organized crime, suffers from ponderous dramatics, over-posed (and under- talented) character actors, and underdeveloped leads with phantom motivation. Somehow I get the feeling the director dropped a couple of pallets of footage on some half-suspecting, chain-smoking Spanish editor, then got too tied up making a film centered on his new fascination with forklifts to be available to sort out the mess.It's the same thing that happens when a European chef tries to make chili or barbecue sauce. It tastes strangely like beef Bourgignon or Bolognese.
Nathaniel Hinckson I saw this movie as a child and still remember it. It has one of those plots that's so interesting that you don't forget it. It reminds me of "Sudden Fury"(Canadian) and "Loophole" (UK). Wish they'd bring it out on DVD. I remember Elke Summer and Lee J. Cobb in it. Didn't recall Jack Palance at all. The movie is very believable and the plot and motives of the characters interesting. At one point it seems the whole thing has reached a stalemate and you didn't have a sense of what direction the plot is going to take which was right down my street. Hate those movies where you can guess how the plot will play out and it does just that. If you want a movie with an unpredictable and interesting plot this is it.
