The Asphalt Jungle

This movie is one of my favorites we've seen so far, as the action and the plot develop more and more every minute. The "gangster" genre that this film is portrayed in adds character to the film. The characters are developed phenomenally as they are these bad gangsters with flaws that every person has. This makes the viewer feel as though they can connect to the characters. Emmerich's vice is women, while Cubby's vice is alcohol. Also, money is one of the most important vices these characters have. Handley's friend (Eddie i believe) gives Handley money while he himself has debts, so I'm curious to know what makes him so close to Handley. Because of the theme of movies shot during the time period this movie was made in, it's obvious that all of the main characters involved in the crime will come to a bad end one way or the other, as we have already seen with many of the characters.
