Posting a little early tonight because I'm going out this evening. At any rate, Plunder Road is a good little film. It's B-movie fare, made on a small budget, but it moves at a good pace and is a lot of fun. The heist scenes in particular are very well done, and the scheme the gang uses to smuggle the gold is quite clever. 6.75/10.

BTW, fans of the old Batman tv series might recognize Chief O'Hara (Stafford Repp) as one the gang members.

Is this the one where they make new bumpers for their car out of the gold? If so, I saw that a long time ago, but couldn’t remember the name of the movie.

Elisha Cook is always a good nut-bar. He was Sydney Greenstreet’s psycho muscle in the Maltese Falcon.

I always liked this film. It’s lean and to-the-point, without any kind of pretentiousness or self-consciousness. No overdone characterizations, or detractingly arty direction. No-nonsense. So often these types of films toss in a lot of over-emotional character conflicts, trying to gratuitously pepper up the drama, but not this one. This one avoids all that, and I think I appreciated it more because of this.

“Plunder Road” hardly constitutes any kind of classic status, and in many ways can be dismissed as pretty routine fare. Yet, I find I value films like this more and more with each passing year. Often much moreso than many so-called “classics.”
