Bank teller (Gould) discovers that someone is preparing to rob his bank so he outsmarts the robber (Plummer). After the heist goes down, Plummer discovers that he got away with only a small portion of the report stole cash. He is now ready to kill to get the rest from his "Silent Partner." The most entertaining part of the movie is the series of mind-games played outsmart the other...will the bank teller get away with the money?

Haven't seen this in a long time and it hasn't held up like I had thought. When I saw this in theaters I remember really liking it. Now it's real slow in the beginning but when the plot kicks in it becomes a tad bit meaner and you just have to love the ending. But the cover art selling this movie is way wrong. There is nothing about the new artwork that holds true to the film. Very misleading. Gould is spot on as our hero and Plummer takes on a risky villain and delivers. If this film was edited a bit tighter I would give it a classic status. But please... change that cover art. It's nice but misleading.

This movie never received its due credit. I remember the movie received scant publicity when it came on screen. Everyone I recommended the movie loved it. A great Canadian movie with good story line.

Honestly, don't waste your time unless you wnat to see 70's clothes. No redeeming qualities with this low budget film. Pretty basic everything including the script, photography & soundtrack.
