Lumbers along at a dull pace.May 09, 2005
he climactic heist of the gold, with Mr. Connery climbing atop the moving railroad cars, ducking under bridges just before a possible decapitation, is marvelous action footage that manages to be very funny as it takes your breath away.October 23, 2004
Connery is one of the best light comedians in the movies, and has been ever since those long-ago days when he was James Bond.July 30, 2008
Crichton's films drag in dialog bouts, but triumph when action takes over.November 05, 2008
Crichton is after a giggly quality as if it's being told as a pub yarn, soaked in exaggeration and acute trickery to defeat impossible hurdles, while never far from redoubtable moral lesson.January 27, 2004
The Great Train Robbery offers a peep into Victorian society with its strange sports, public hangings and high society rituals.May 24, 2003
Amiable enough, but as heist films go this is well below average.October 25, 2004
Smooth crime caper flick with Connery .May 03, 2005
Imbued with the spirit of the '60s and '70s counterculture.August 09, 2002
Excellent period film featuring great performances by Connery and Sutherland. Crichton's direction builds some very tense moments, particularly in the execution of the robbery, but the movie isn't too serious to throw in an occasional gag. Deserves to beJanuary 26, 2006
The characters stay largely undeveloped, while -- despite superficially peculiar features -- the robbery is stripped of the ingenious exposition of the novel.November 05, 2008
An entertaining thriller that stumbles occasionally on overlong dialogue sequences.
