But hasn't this been a somewhat usual theme in crime fiction?
Well, I mentioned "The Asphalt Jungle" as an opposite, but
there is the Sterling Hayden character (my memory is bad when
it comes to character names), who wants to get away with the
money he's going to have from the caper. He's going to
retire.
From some point on, there are no more guys who just want to
do the Final Job and get away and move to a remote island
somewhere in the Pacific.
