It's an entertaining movie, but the second act felt a bit lackluster compared to the first. Connery and Caine are fine in their roles and it's not hard to see why both of them claim they enjoyed making this movie more than any other.

One of the greatest classic adventure movies of the 70ies. Great story, direction and terrific pairing of Connery and Caine. Seen the movie countless times and always fun.
