Elevator Pitch |
Terry Benedict, the victim of the gang’s previous heist, locates them and demands his money back with interest. In desperation they decamp Europe and start work, but come up against a clever Eurocop and a master thief. They are forced to take up a challenge from the latter to steal a Faberge egg. If they succeed he will pay off their debt. |
Content |
A whole load of clever thieving mostly in Amsterdam plus a lot of interaction with the Eurocop and the thief, who turns out to be a count living at Lake Como. And then a trip to Rome following the egg. No drugs, drinking, sex or life! |
A View |
This was a poor follow-up, and it is difficult to say more without spoilers. Only towards the conclusion will you begin to realise how important or not the whole narrative has been – and the Julia Roberts event – give me strength! |
