Interesting to compare this heist with, say "Thief" and "Heat." Both are Michael Mann films, come to think of it.

Such an underrated movie! I wish I could find it in blu ray, if it ever was released in blue ray. :(

it's the close up when he's looking for the watch that gets me, you realize he's completely given up but at the same time he's insane and getting off on the scene. Wow what a contradicting scene. He pisses me off like mad as well.
