Review – The Great Train Robbery

Truth be told, I didn’t have much of an opinion of this early Michael Crichton movie one way or another. In Victorian England a roguish gentleman (Sean Connery) enlists the aid of some criminal types (Donald Sutherland chief among them) to steal a shipment of gold bars from a moving train. Some of the intrigue is mildly intriguing. Some of the stunt work is good. But for the most part this is one of those old movies that doesn’t do much either to impress or to offend. Mildly amusing
