Yes I watched this entire drab film including the endless Warren Beatty chase scene on the frozen lake. If anyone did not figure out instantly how that particular chase scene was going to end (Beatty running on foot with his stolen stash in a suit case on thin ice and the not too slick Candy Man, Arthur Brauss, spinning circles in his car driving around the running Beatty) then I pity the fools who didn't see the obvious occurring.
The point is this crime/thriller was predictable from the get go and it just showed that Beatty's career was on the downside even after the 1975 release of Shampoo. Beatty was type cast forever as the suave and charismatic schemer and Goldie Hawn played the ditzy dumb blonde again and again and again.
The other scene which took 20 minutes to complete was Beatty hiding in the bank vault pretending to be safely securing a gold bar when in fact he is avoiding the in bank vault video camera by sequencing his thievery as the video camera rotated throughout the vault.
What both of the above scenes have in common is they both have us going around in an endless circle which starts and ends nowhere just like this drab film. I give it an 8 out of 10 IMDB rating.
