Il nostro Eduardo
A contemporary remake of the 1961 film of the same name; an involuntarily-retired colonel recruits seven other dissatisfied ex-servicemen for a special project. Each man has a skeleton in the cupboard, is short of money, and is a service-trained expert in his field. The job? A bank robbery, and military discipline and planning are imposed on the team, although civilian irritations start getting in the way.
