Trivia:
Aldwych station was chosen to film the underground scenes because the true Tottenham Court Road station had been modified extensively in the early 1980s. Only Edgware Road still has any resemblance to its original look. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: The window of "Le Sac", the bag store rented by the robbers, has labels on the door advertising VISA cards. During the early '70s, the credit card was known as BARCLAYCARD in Great Britain. This VISA logo is seen a few times in the film. moreQuotes:

Film-making at it's finest.
Nothing loud and boisterous. No over-stylized cinematography, pointless set-pieces, cheesy dialogue, or over-flowing emotions.
A perfect example of why the finest movie-making talent in Hollywood is British. And possibly the best caper movie of recent times.
Had this been from Hollywood, every fine detail of the complex subtext in the story would have been blown apart. Instead, everything is under-played, the characters are superbly realistic and believable, and the script sharp as a pin. And the cast is a brilliant ensemble.
Worth many repeated viewings for the subtle humour and to get the most out of the twisting plot developements.
