Review of The Stick Up

I can imagine people may have trouble following the storyline because much of it is told in flashbacks that I sometimes only just knew were flashbacks a few minutes into the subplot. This convoluted way of telling (and the way in which you have to piece it together) means you never really know what's going to happen next. It may be an ordinary cops and robber story at some point, or turn out to be a modern Bonnie and Clyde at another point. The way people keep chasing one another stays within realistic limits and never strays into the completely unrealistic escapes and shootouts we know from many blockbusters. In my opinion a well worked out plot but you have to pay attention to it to follow it.
