Query: THE STING ON A DOWNER

Imagine THE STING set in a contemporary slum, taken very seriously, with a no name cast, and with a downbeat ending---cause that's what this movie amounts to.For whatever reason, it's filmed in Philadelphia, though there's nothing special about the location shooting. The direction comes off as lacklaster, even amaturish. The plot does move fast, though.Somehow, Universal released this; AIP was better with such material. A very 1970s movie, also kinda akin to ACROSSS 11OTH STREET, with a similar mafia/cops chasing anti-heros angle.This movie and the book it adapted from came out before THE STING----so, THE STING ripped off the opening scene of two hustlers accidently ripping off the mafia!!!!
