May 16 movie: The Anderson Tapes. Caper movie starring Sean Connery, with a great ensemble including Dyan Cannon, Martin Balsam, Alan King, Garret Morris, Christopher Walken in his first movie and Margaret Hamilton in her last.
The heist is intercut with government surveillance of Connery. I understand that was a key element of the book it was based on, but it drags the movie down. I think they should have focused on the caper -- which is very well done fun and exciting -- and dropped the surveillance. Then again, if they did that they wouldn't have had a title anymore.
