Paris Heist
Great film. Tony is released from a five year prison stint and becomes involved in a sensational jewelry heist in Paris.
Tony, his son and very young grandson, all become integral characters in this thrilling take off.
This phenomenal burglary is fascinating. They use an expert Milanese safe cracker named Cesare, and a host of other underworld denizens to pull it off, not to mention some very sexy and flashy cabaret dancers.
All figure into the tense interplay when the local hood, Gruner, inserts himself into Tony’s romantic pursuit as well as the kidnapping of Tony’s grandchild to extort a kidnap ransom.
This one goes down to the wire. You will stayed glued to your seat until it all unravels in the end.
