Post James Bond!! Love this movie
I have to say that Connery really made his mark and separting himself from the James Bond series. This is a good action crime thriller.

Sean Connery's Best
As thriller,"Anderson Tapes"is average. However as theater - an ensemble piece - it's an American classic. Sean's best role: a likeable guy out of jail after staying quiet for ten years on behalf of the mob. They owe him a favor (small potatoes)which is the problem (they now prefer big business - linen service, construction, etc.). Ultimately they stake Connery and his magnificent raggedy crew to pull a major burglary (Sean's retirement). Meanwhile the FBI (in search of bigger fish) monitors Connery's ensuing bad luck like an indifferent god.

Meticulous thriller!
An Ex- con has planned with minimum detail every little step: he has designed all kind of electronic wonders and advanced technology : nothing should be wrong; except perhaps, certain twists of fate disguised as human factor that simply escape from your control.
Christopher Walken's first feature : Balsam and Connery are particularly effective. Excellent direction of Sidney Lumet.

Warning-this is NOT a period piece
The Anderson Tapes is an example of what director Sidney Lumet is capable of creating: an entertaining yet somehow thoughtful film. This was the movie that actually made me appreciate Sean Connery. In the Bond films he was doomed to be typecast. Sidney Lumet bailed him out and Connery owes him big time. Great setup and cameos: including an underrated scene with the great Garret Morris as a limber police officer, who would go on to become one of the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players on Saturday Night Live just a few years later (along with Belushi, Chase, Radner, etc.). Christopher Walken looks like a baby in this one and Martin Balsam is pretty funny. Nice flash forward scenes make it seem like it can never be a dated film. Chilling last scene makes the film and a point about our technological age.
