The Brinks Job (1978) - Dir William Friedkin - currently playing on Cinemax!

from wikipedia:

The Brink's Job is a 1978 film directed by William Friedkin and starring Peter Falk, Peter Boyle, Allen Garfield, Warren Oates, Gena Rowlands, and Paul Sorvino. It is based on the Brink's robbery of 1950 in Boston, where almost 3 million dollars was stolen.

The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Art Direction (Dean Tavoularis, Angelo P. Graham, George R. Nelson).

Was very pleasantly surprised to see this randomly playing on Cinemax today. It looked like a possible recent HD transfer which makes me hopeful for a blu ray release (as far as I know this is another Friedkin flick that has yet to be released on blu ray). Great to see a Peter Falk performance as well.

I didn't get to watch the whole film (which will be my first viewing) but was able to record for the next showing Fri 1/15 7am. So set your DVRs!
