‘Pixote’ (1980)
Pixoteis a Brazilian crime-drama that’s divided into two halves.
The title promises an armored car robbery, and that’s what ends up happening.
It’s satisfying to see a movie like this waste no time in delivering crime-related thrills.
And are the characters particularly memorable?
No, to both questions, but that doesn’t matter.
It gives you an armored car robbery and its fallout.

What more do you need?
That’s why a film likeMurder on a Sunday Morningis so satisfying.
‘Going in Style’ (1979)
Forget theZach Braff-directed remake.
It’s hard to follow and chaotic, but that’s by design.
