Such a cool and unexpected finale. From the heist onwards it's brilliant especially the scenes around the pool.

A title like Any Number Will Do works well for a casino heist picture, but it's a far cry from the original French title (Mélodie en sous-sol - literally, Basement Melody, but then you miss the pun with the note "sol" in it). Either way, this is a classic heist picture that spends enough time with its two protagonists that we care whether they succeed or not. Jean Gabin is an old thief, just out of the clink, looking for one last score. I really like his relationship with his wife (Viviane Romance) and wish we'd gotten more of it. Alain Delon is the young buck he partners with, and who gets to do most of the action. Like all heists, things have to go at least a little wrong, it's always harder than the plan made it out to be. You need to that to keep the tension alive once we're essentially been told what the plan is. Even after that, there's always the question of whether the thieves get away with it or don't, and the film's answer to that is actually pretty interesting. I shall say no more.

Such a cool and tense ending. I would argue that it surpassed the whole heist part.

Audiard dialogues full of old slang and funny punch lines, an aging Gabin, a young Delon, a casino heist and a great finale!
The heist itself is not as powerful as Rififi, but the rest makes it an absolute treat of a movie.
