The Hot Rock - 1972

Grade = B+

-All of a sudden Robert Redford is everywhere and I'm loving it.  The Hot Rock is nothing but pure joy.  It's directed by the same guy who directed Breaking Away, so it has got to be awesome.  So these guys are hired to steal this diamond for some African guy and something always goes wrong.  The ending was a little out there but I loved it and I enjoyed every second of this film, and could watch it again and again.  George Segal and Redford make a great couple.  I felt a bit of a BottleRocket vibe, and oh I liked that.

Mr. Joe Says: "They don't make movies like this anymore, which depresses me."
