It's a fairly faithful adaptation. It's not as good as The Hot Rock, but a damn sight better than Jimmy the Kid. The movie version of Westlake's Why Me?
1. "The stories and books are all great, but the quality of the films varies widely, from the excellent The Hot Rock 1972 to the truly wretched Jimmy the Kid 1983, which was turned into a star vehicle for kid actor Gary Coleman."
2. "In Jimmy The Kid, the gang uses a Parker novel as a guideline for a caper; needless to say, it doesnt go quite as planned." 3. "Its not as good as The Hot Rock, but a damn sight better than Jimmy the Kid." 4. "Victoria EspositoShea NOVELS The Hot Rock 1970 Bank Shot 1972 Jimmy the Kid 1974 Nobodys Perfect 1977 Why Me?" 5. "1983 Good Behaviour 1985 Drowned Hopes 1990 Dont Ask 1993."
