    What could go wrong when everything is do well planned and executed. But something always goes wrong . Nothing goes exactly as planned and what a movie watching it all fall apart. You hope Sterling gets away with it but crime just doesn’t pay! Excellent heist caper!

  • Moody Film with an Overbearing Dark Atmosphere

    The Asphalt Jungle (1950) is one of the earliest and best examples of another unique sub-genre of the crime film: the caper film. A caper film is a remarkably pure narrative model that gives intricate detail to three important structural acts: the planning, execution, and resolution of the perfect crime. Films of this kind have a simplified focus, and drive towards their conclusions with the steadfastness of a march (often a death march). But The Asphalt Jungle is also noir, and the caper film was born in the dangerous trenches of this dark style.
