The Asphalt Jungle is widely considered one of the greatest heist movies of all time, and I certainly will not dispute that claim, but the film offers much more than a thrilling caper. The film has also been justifiably called a character study, yet contains elements you might find in a love story. Viewers can get so caught up in details of the heist, its preparation, execution, and consequences, that we lose sight of the characters and their yearning for things that are, for the most part, fundamentally good. Yet we can also fail to notice the ancillary devastation forced on some of the players.
