"Men at Work" is both amusing and hyper-active (it actually resembles one of Donald E. Westlake's capers) and it moves along at a cracking pace. It always makes good use of its modest ensemble of characters and fortunately the enthusiastic energy never falters for a second, but the story does frequently edge dangerously close to the improbable at times and the film also lacks the necessary drive and the punch…
