Enjoyable but perhaps too clever...

"Midas Run" is a film I watched solely because it stars Fred Astaire...and now after seeing it, I've seen every Astaire film but one. Needless to say, I am a fan of him and his films. Unfortunately, I am not a huge fan of this movie...it's worth seeing but nothing more.Astaire is oddly cast as a British member of the Secret Service. Why they didn't cast an actual Brit is beyond me. Well, apparently he's worked hard his whole life and yet has been passed over again for knighthood. So, he comes up with a plan to heist a gold shipment...and how and why and what he'll do with it is what you'll have to learn yourself.The plot to this film is very complicated and has many twists and turns....perhaps too many. After a while, there are just so many twists that it seems as if the film is very proud of its cleverness. I think simplifying the plot, a bit, would have made it all seem more possible and plausible.Another problem with the film is the most unintentionally funny sex scene in the history of cinema. You really have to see it to believe it...and it's bound to make you laugh, as I did. It's very badly done and preposterous.Apart from these complaints, the film is very watchable and, as always, Astaire is very good despite the odd casting. Well worth seeing...but not among the actor's best.

He's never stolen anything before in his life. He just hires someone else to do it.

Romantic heist movie

This movie starts out pretty good and I found it quite interesting with the plan to rob a lot of gold. Unfortunately I found that as the movie progressed it became to much focused on the the two leads romance instead of details in the robbery. I find that is a pity and thought some of the romantic scenes just dragged on.Midas Run was okay acted but nothing in directing or acting to write books about. Would I recommend this movie? Well if it is on the television then it is an okay time killer, but it is not a movie I would spend long time searching for. There are both better and worse movies in this category and this comes out as pretty average.
