Helped considerably by a relatively high budget for a 1988 British film, Buster perfectly remade the 1960s caper-film experience. Rock star Phil Collins plays Buster Edwards, who's only one of a gang who all seem doomed to be captured after their £2.5 million train heist. The caper is over within 30 minutes. However, the film is really about the love story between Buster and his doting yet long-suffering wife June (an excellent Julie Walters). When the action switches to sun-drenched Mexico, you just know her loyalty is going to be tested to extremes because that's when Collins's award-winning songs kick in! "Two Hearts" and "Groovy Kind of Love" may not be '60s-styled, but the message is that love always conquers time and place. --Paul Tonks

 One of those "rootin' for the bad guy" movies. May 9, 2001

I'm so glad this video is being reissued, not only because I'm a Phil Collins fan, but because it's a great movie in general.Phil plays Buster Edwards, who may be a thief by profession but whose real reason for living is the love of his wife June (Julie Walters) and his daughter Nicky. After pulling off the biggest train robbery in British history, Buster flees with his family to Mexico, along with the ringleader (Larry Lamb), and his wife. What starts out as a vacation in paradise turns into tensions boiled over when an argument between June and Buster gets physical (he slaps her face) and she retaliates by taking Nicky and flying home. That's when Buster realizes that living in exile is pointless if it means alienating his family. All in all, this is a very moving, heartwarming film (which includes one of the best robbery sequences I've ever seen); it gets the R rating for some of the more violent scenes, brief nudity, and the occasional British curse word. The score by Anne Dudley is as beautiful as some of the film's most tender moments, and the songs in the soundtrack include two of Phil's biggest hits: "Two Hearts", and "A Groovy Kind of Love"; as well as such classic tunes as: "I Got You Babe" by Sonny & Cher, "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" by Dusty Springfield," "Keep On Running" by the Spencer Davis Group (with lead vocals by a then-relatively unknown singer and keyboard player named Steve Winwood), and "How Do You Do It?" by Gerry & the Pacemakers

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.

Fantastic dvd !!!
Taking you back to the 60's in England. The Great Train Robbery was major headline news and Phil Collins is not just a GREAT singer/musician he is an awesome actor too !!
