The UK Great Train Robbery of Early 60's
A good movie about a true train robbery in which the robbers got away with over 2 million UK pounds in cash, but not sure how true the movie is to the actual event. Phil Collins is great as the main character (Buster), a dumb small time crook trying to care for his family. The 60's musical hits also adds to the enjoyment of the movie. I understand that one of the actual train robbers appears in the movie, coming out of the Mexican airport ahead of Phil Collins.

Where did the time go...I remember reading about it in the papers.
I remember the great train robbery and the cult following the culprits enjoyed in and around the East End. We all knew that Harold MacMillans government went after them "Gangbusters" to blow smoke in the collective faces of the electorate to cover up for the Profumo Affair. The old lags who pulled off this job were well known but were surprised at their sophistication. Had it not been for the unfortunate harm that was done to the train driver, the gang might have had a legitimate cult following. Phil Collins plays Buster Edwards most convincingly. A wonderful retelling of the Great Train Robbery and a very convincing East End of the day. The movie was very well packaged, arrived in wonderful condition and very promptly.

Nick one while you can!
I'm a big fan of Phil's and used to have the VHS version of Buster. To me this is a film filled with drama, lightheartedness, consequences, and loyalty between spouses.It's also just a fun movie.

Buster Robs a Train
This film was under-appreciated and didn't receive favorable reviews by critics. I must say, I thought it was very good, and very factual. The story is about a career thief who lives in south London who connects with other criminals to form a gang and rob a Royal Mail train north of London. "The Great Train Robbery" has produced films over the years, but this movie focuses on one member of the gang, Buster, played by Phil Collins. Buster and the Gang recruit a former train engineer/driver and figure out a way to stop the southbound train, then steal all the bags of cash inside the carriages. They carry out their plan, steal millions of British Pounds, and disperse after hiding out in a nearby farm they rented. Buster and the leader decide to go to Mexico, which doesn't have an extradition treaty with Britain. They both live there for a few years, then Buster's wife misses her family and home. He decides to join them, and gets caught, as do most of the train robbers. He serves his time, gets out, then runs an honest flower stall on the Thames river, where the story ends. It is very entertaining, very accurate and the storyline goes well. I highly recommend it.

Super buster!
The film itself is something that really happened in England in the late sixties! Personally I like films of different themes, romantic,drama,horror etc. In this one I really liked Phil's acting and how he portrayed Buster,apart from those beautiful mexico scenery.

Just a great feel-good, funny movie, about an event that was all over the news in the UK in the 1960s. A great view.
