It's one of those films I discovered purely by chance looking through Robert Shaw's filmography and happened to find the whole film on YouTube. I liked it. It's not polished and the twist at the end was driven by ego and morals, but that helped it feel a different cut to the usual formula e.g. Oceans... Italian Job etc. In fact there's a semblance of another film I like, with Oliver Reed and Michael Crawford called Jokers which would make a perfect double billed afternoon. I particularly enjoyed the similarities to the first Mission Impossible film, without giving too much away. Just temper any expectations of high action. This film works by tension but it does it well enough to justify watching at least once. Not a bucket-list worthy film, but the main actors may justify my 6/10.
