IMDb
(DVD, Criterion Eclipse)
A bank executive gets a promotion and is given a going away party by his staff. A stranger shows up and blackmails him with incriminating evidence about illegal loans. He demands an exorbitant amount of cash, gives him a gun and tells him to rob his own bank. He does just that, in disguise, but at the last minute backs out when one of the employees recognizes him. However, the tables are turned when the employee uses the situation for his own advantage, and to exact some personal revenge. Fast paced and tightly edited with a very satisfactory conclusion.
