The Canadian "sleeper"
The Silent Partner stars
Elliott Gould as a teller,
Miles Cullen, who figures out psycho
Harry Reikle's (
Christopher Plummer) scheme to rob his bank, several days ahead of time.
Cullen providently squirrels away 50,000 dollars in a safety-deposit box before
Reikle strikes. After the robbery, the papers report the amount of the bank's loss.
Reikle realizes that there's 50,000 extra bucks floating around that he hasn't gotten his hands on. The soft-spoken but sadistic
Reikle puts the screws on
Cullen to fork over the dough -- but
Cullen has lost the deposit-box key. Be forewarned: this one gets extremely brutal and bloody at times, with sudden bursts of graphic violence. Also featured is
Susannah York as the fluctuating-loyalty heroine, and a very young and hairy
John Candy. Future
L.A. Confidential scribe
Curtis Hanson loosely adapted the Danish novel
Think of a Number, by
Anders Bodelsen.
