| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Tough Guys |
|---|
After 30 years in prison, the last two men to rob a train are finally released. At 70 years old they're having a hard time reacclimating to society. They're being hounded by the cop who busted them and by a hitman who's been waiting for them for 30 years. Unable to make an honest go of it, they turn to their old ways. They steal an armored car, but find it to be empty. For one last hoo-rah, they decide to steal the very train that they robbed 30 years earlier, and ride it to Mexico.
--Brandon Swenson, Resident Scholar
