As a cooperative measure, the information gathered by the FBI in the Brinks investigation was made available to the district attorney of Suffolk County, Mass.

A generic armoured Brinks truck is intercepted at dawn somewhere in urban Los Angeles by a gang wearing hockey goalie masks and packing M-16s.

It's a rapid action heist in the shadow of a freeway interchange, which sees the ruthless shooting of the Guards and the gang's departure in a stolen ambulance which is later jettisoned and bombed.

 AGNI | Reviews | 'Smiles & Slogans' by Harvey Blume
Dave is serving a life sentence in New York State for his part in an attempted robbery of a Brinks truck in Nyack, New York, in 1981 during which a guard and two policemen were killed.
The Brinks robbery showed it to be a selective, ultimately self-serving kind of fellow feeling, a supremely arrogant compassion, at home with excuses, above any law.
When I think of Brinks, and everything Dave Gilbert doesn't try to say about it, lacking the language, maybe, or the conscience, it wipes the smile right off his face in my mind's eye.

Perhaps Brinks don't know either, or perhaps the police are trying to confuse the robbers or make them count it themselves.
There would need to be a lot of men involved, all of whom kept stumm before and after – men to take the hostage; to hold the hostage for eight hours; to drive cars both to and from Creighton's garage and Annadale; men to keep look-out, never mind stashing the loot.
Okay, the Northern job was 20 times bigger than the Brinks job – so we're led to believe anyway.

The job was a pushover, but so, unfortunately was Tony: By the time he masterminded the haul, half of South Boston knew who was in on it.
These insights come from Peter Falk, who plays Tony Pino in "The Brink's Job," and who says he grew as fascinated by Tony as Tony was by Brinks.
This sort of craft is sometimes hard to appreciate - "The Brink's Job" is so well put together that it doesn't draw attention to its direction.

Susan Rosenberg, a member of the Weather Underground convicted for participation in a Brinks truck robbery in 1981, will teach a course called "Resistance Memoirs: Writing, Identity and Change." Then again, perhaps you hadn't heard--Hamilton is doing all it can to keep this news under wraps.
It is by no means clear that Susan Rosenberg is "an exemplar of rehabilitation." In an interview on Pacifica radio soon after she was released, she tentatively renounced individual violence.
In a statement, Hamilton administrators described her as "an award-winning writer, an activist and a teacher who offers a unique perspective as a writer." In fact, her "writings" consist of political doggerel and radical exhortation, while her awards are PEN commendations for prison writing.

For more than a decade they were Boston's version of Timmy and Lassie, with no need for a leash when they walked from their Buswell Street apartment over the St. Mary's Street Bridge to the Dugout Cafe on Commonwealth Avenue, where Kennedy was a bartender for forty years.
He loved his job, and the arrangement wasn't a bad deal for the pretzel-loving German shepherd either.
Legend has it that the Dugout's unofficial opening was earlier, that it was a speakeasy during Prohibition, and served as a sports betting hub for decades.

 Accurate information about Kathy Boudin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The families of the three men killed in the Brinks robbery don't agree; they've been lobbying to keep her in prison for the rest of her life.
However, she was involved in the robbery and was a passenger in the getaway vehicle, and therefore was guilty of felony murder.
The line on Kathy Boudin, who seeks parole for her role in the Brinks Job of 1981, is that she should rot in jail for the murder of two cops whom she ambushed by convincing them to put down their arms.

Most of these are in the movie and many remain committed community activists, although David Gilbert is shown serving a life sentence in prison for his part in the disastrous Brinks robbery of 1981—like the assassination of John Lennon, a final spasm of '60s madness.
The Brinks job, which also involved the unmentioned Kathy Boudin among others, is barely acknowledged.
But what's more frustrating is the filmmakers' unwillingness to ask their subjects any really tough questions and a coy disinclination to discuss how the Weather Underground managed to function.

You also back him into a corner on the trade front, because other GMs are likely to increase their prices if they know the guy on the other side may not be long for the job.
Williams doesn't deserve any of that, not after the Brinks job he has pulled off the last 10 months.
Give him the kind of job security he deserves and I bet he is more prone to show a side that can only help the image of the franchise.

He wrote a column disputing those who believed the former radical, then seeking parole, was charged with the 1981 murder of two Nyack police officers after a Brinks truck holdup.
Instead, Zion wrote, Boudin pleaded to felony murder in the Brinks job itself, which left a security guard dead.
Though McManus later claimed he could find no published reference to Boudin as a "cop-killer" in the previous 60 days, Zion protested to Allan that the Post itself blamed her for the officers' deaths.

A chronicle of the daring, meticulously planned, and ingenious high-stakes heists (including the second Brinks robbery in Boston) pulled off by mastermind thief Phil Cresta, a career criminal who was also a master at outwitting police and the FBI.
Mastermind of the legendary Brink's armored truck robbery and a string of countless other high-stakes heists, he stole more than ten million dollars in escapades that often were breathtakingly daring and at times marvelously inventive.
Following the Brinks robbery in 1968, he was put on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List, but eluded the law for five years, living in Chicago under an assumed name.

He likened it to Kubrick's use of the camera during the job interview sequence of The Shining in that what Jack Nicholson said in response to very mundane questions was not nearly as interesting as the subtext.
Deschanel also said that one of the fun things about doing the show was finding ways to make as many shots as possible a reveal in order to heighten the level of mystery for the entire show.
Director Mario Monicelli's genre-busting confection was later echoed in such American fare as The Hot Rock (1972) and The Brinks Job (1978).
