...Robbery is a curiously enervated affair. In his previous films, Westworld and Coma, Crichton has shown a gut instinct for creating nasty suspense. His movies looked sloppy, but fiendish humor and scare tactics helped paper over the visual lapses. Train Robbery, paradoxically, looks gorgeous but lacks bite and narrative rhythm. The thieves carry out their complex scheme in a series of repetitive, evenly paced sequences, most of which involve the hijacking of keys to a safe. When you've seen one key theft, you've seen them all. The robberies are so perfectly planned and calmly dispatched that...
...this precisely was the destiny of mankind from the moment it entered on the path of technology; that even the ancient rowers, chained to the galleys, and the woodsmen of the North with their saws, and the steam engine of Stephenson with its cylinder and piston, all traced the rhythm, the shape, and the meaning of the movements of which the sex of man - that is to say, the sense of man- consists.

...enough and others wonder why they venture so far. Secrets is Scott-Heron/Jackson at their most subdued level. Bridges, the last album prior to Secrets, contains more music and less rhetoric. South Africa to South Carolina, released in 1976, is highly political in content and feverish in rhythm. Secrets manages to strike a balance between these two modes of music. All of their albums include a track about a revolution; in "Third World Revolution," the blend of drums, tenor saxophone and fast-paced lyrics account for the only track reminiscent of the South Africa to South Carolina album.
