Average Rating:
 Rating:  - recommended to fans of the British gangster flickChronologically sitting between Get Carter & The Long Good Friday this is something of a lost classic British gangster / heist film containing all the tough , gritty realism of its better known peers - with Stacy Keach ( for some reason ) cast as an alcoholic ex-London cop . Highly recommended to fans of the genre - bit dated otherwise but still stands up against more recent films. Rating: - Grit and nastinessDon't confuse this movie with the Michael Keaton one. This has Stacey Keach, David Hemmings, Freddie Starr, Edward Fox et al and Stephen Boyd as a particularly nasty villain. Apted piles on the grotesquery and the squalor, and the bank job gone wrong ending is superb. Rating: - You ask yourself . . .THE SQUEEZE causes you to ask yourself . . . "Hey! I've been watching this for 25 minutes. Are they writing the script as they go along?" It is almost as if the director conceded that since we're not getting any laughs, let's make this into a mystery. Failing that route, it ended up trying to make the kids happy with a lot of special effects. Yes, Keaton tried to play the comic, but only manages to play a misfit-in-society figure. I give three stars to this movie only because I did not fall asleep; and also because Rae Dawn Chong worked very hard to act out her role, whatever that was supposed to be. I saw this movie again after a spell of ten years hoping that I'd find something in it after that time lapse. I think that I did detect a New Yorker's joke about New Jersey on the second time around. Rating:  - The worst movie I've ever seen in my life.This was a dreadful picture I saw in a "Dollar Movie" back in college. I felt that I had wasted my dollar! Michael Keaton is so much better than this that frankly, it is downright embarassing! Take my advice -- stay far, far away.
