Any Number Can Win
Don't tell the ending...nobody'll ever believe you!
A taut, methodical heist film centered on meticulous planning and the tension between a criminal's nature and the pull of respectability.
Charles, fresh out of jail, rejects his wife's plan for a quiet life of bourgeois respectability. He enlists a former cell mate, Francis, to assist him in pulling off one final score, a carefully planned assault on the vault of a Cannes casino.
