BBC2 often show these sort of movies either in the daytime or in the early hours. Armoured Car Robbery came on one afternoon so I set the video and was pleased I did.
A gang decides to rob an armoured car and when doing so, this results in a policeman being killed and one of the robbers injured and is shot dead later by one of the other robbers after getting a little touchy. The remaining robbers go on the run and end up hiding in a hut somewhere in LA docks, after passing through an oil field. The police are closing in on them all the while and are caught or killed at the end.
The location photography in this movie is done well, especially the oil field sequence with the "nodding donkeys".
The cast includes Charles McGraw, B movie regular Adele Jergens (The Day the World Ended), Steve Brodie, Gene Evans and William Talman.
Watching Armoured Car Robbery is a good way to spend just over an hour one afternoon or evening.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
