The best laid plans

[bkoganbing · 5/10 · 19 February 2021]

In these kind of caper films for television series, it's a given that the show's regulars will somehow overcome the best laid plans the villains can make. You just try and make it a close run thing.

Which is what happens here when Martin Sheen and a gang he's assembled make some very meticulous plans for a bank robbery at the Madrid County town seat They've even got the help of an inside person at the bank.

For good measure Sheen and his cohorts take Glenn Ford and Taylor Lacher prisoner. The idea is to have hem as hostages if tings go south. That was my problem with this episode. If he gets away with the robbery just how much do they think law enforcement will pursue if a sheriff and deputy are killed?

Sheen's one cocky crook and with things going his way it looks like he has reason to be cocky.

You have to see how Madrid County law enforcment brings him down.

Perfect heist

This story begins this way: on a countryside road, a bunch of organized hoodlums use a fake ambulance as a bait to trap a patrol police officer. That is, they use him as a bait to trap Sam Cade. So, the audience wonder: what's the pitch? You soon guess all this is about a bank heist. The two police officers are jailed in an old tower, depending of an abandoned factory. I have always craved for heist stories, all kinds of heists. And this one is pulled by a bunch of professionals. I enjoyed this episode. Look for the young Martin Sheen as one of the robbers. In this stories, I always pray for the robbers to succeed. They can for the moment, but it is often after that fails. How about this one?
