Captivating crime film With Duryea as a professional burglar who and his team manage to steal a valuable necklace from a safe, but the police are on their heels and they have to go into hiding for a while.

Others are also after the jewels, in between we get a character sketch of Nat through flashbacks.

There is enough going on after that to keep your attention and the story remains captivating until the end.

I think it's nice that some more attention is paid to the main character, in that respect it is often more of a drama story than a crime film, but I think the two genres are mixed well together.
