It isn't love that makes the world go round.
Joe Moore has a job he loves. He's a thief. His job goes sour when he gets caught on security camera tape. His fence, Bergman, reneges on the money he's owed, and his wife may be betraying him with the fence's young lieutenant. Moore and his partner, Bobby Blane, and their utility man, Pinky Pincus, find themselves broke, betrayed, and blackmailed. Moore is forced to commit his crew to do one last big job.

Like the railings on Gene Hackman's boat, this review must be gilded because if I tell you what I really feel I would have to... well, you know. In essence each character is caught in an infinite loop of parlaying -- Hackman wants to capitalize on a lifetime of grift, DeVito wants to expand his territory (ironic for a man of such small stature), and Pidgeon just wants to keep getting laid.
