Thunderbolt and Lightfoot

Here's a film aware that tough guys can also be total goofballs. Thunderbolt, a veteran bank robber, finds himself partnered with Lightfoot, a charismatic young hustler. Together, they reunite their old crew for one last, audacious score. It's a heist movie that's perhaps more interested in its buddy-comedy elements.
