Cut to the Chase
Whoever had the idea for this movie must have decided that the exciting part of heist movies is the robbery and the chase, so why not limit the movie to that. It doesn’t really work, though, because one watches the opening train robbery without emotion, and it is hard to feel interested in the fate of the men, who escape in three trucks, since we know nothing about them–except for Elisha Cook (no longer Jr.) who talks about his plans for escaping with his son to Rio. Even so, he doesn’t generate enough sympathy to make us care about these thieves who risk badly wounding or killing the train guards. Gene Raymond turns out to have a woman waiting for him, to help his getaway, but we know nothing about her either.

At times the simple suspense of wondering will the robbers be caught, and how, gives the movie some tension. But, without the high-class cinematography and pacing of another truck movie, The Wages of Fear, or our involvement in the robbers’ emotions, the movie is not nearly as exciting as it might be.

There is one breathtaking moment–at the end, one of the robbers is suddenly undone by the very method he used to rob the train. The surprise of this moment, combined with its irony and justice, give the picture an emotional punch that is otherwise lacking.

Very very good!
Suspense, all the movie long, great story, great acting, original, a movie gem! I’m the first to give it 10 stars, the others weren’t so “generous”. I put generous in between quotation marks, because the movie really deserves 10 stars. The director, Hubert Cornfield, made another very good film, “The Night of the Following Day”, with a super cast, Marlon Brando, Richard Boone, Al Lettieri, Rita Moreno, Pamela Franklin, Jess Hahn. In this “Plunder Road”, the actors are not big names. Except for Elisha Cook Jr. who is known and was a workaholic, starring in over 200 movies, and I’ve seen him in many, Gene Raymond, Wayne Morris, Stafford Repp, Steven Ritch (who is also the screenwriter), I only saw them in very few other productions. I also saw Jeanne Cooper in two small roles in “Tony Rome” (1967) and “The Boston Strangler” (1968). Too bad no one managed to stay with the gold, as the female character who serves them sandwiches and coffee at the stop on the road says, I would have wanted them to get away. And, they would have succeeded if they stayed put, hiding somewhere near the place where they robbed the train, and did not start to cross so many states and numerous police blockades.
