with Michael Caine and Demi Moore. A very good heist movie. It was set in the 1960's, which lends it an air of authenticity, but the story is pure fiction, at least as near as I can tell. Michael Caine plays an aging janitor who has been working on a plan for revenge for 15 years, and it comes off flawlessly. Now we all know that the best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry, but Mr. Caine's character is absolutely confident that it will all go according to his plan. There are several psychological angles to this plan, and I could see that if you were watching your intended victim(s) for fifteen years, you could acquire some insight into their behavior and you might be able to predict what they would do in a certain situation. I say victim(s) because while there was only one actual target, a scheme this audacious is bound to have a wide impact that could easily result in collateral damage, and it does, though it couldn't have happened to a more deserving character.
