Opportunists
A Dublin man (McDonald) visits America pretending to be a distant cousin of robber Walken. Along with two security guards they team up for a job. That's the slight story and it's not particularly original. Kind of similar to Pope of Greenwich Village but more low-key. Strange that this movie got made as it's not too commercial. Still, it's well directed and paced. Singer Lauper plays a barmaid. The best parts of the film were the ordinary locations used.
