You can watch Bloody Friday (1972) for free on Darkroom.

Womanizing thug Klett is sprung from the courthouse by two accomplices, then sets about planning the big heist of a local bank, equipped with a cache of high-powered weapons he's acquired from an American army outpost. Together with his faithful protégé, who reluctantly on-boards his young girlfriend and her AWOL brother, the quartet bumble their way through the supposedly full-proof plan that aims to deliver them a cool million in cash and a new life in Australia. Predictably, things deteriorate quickly at every turn.

A cold, nihilistic tension pulses through this heist tale as a criminal gang prepares for chaos with stolen American military weaponry. The film captures a sense of impending doom as the heist's momentum builds toward an inevitable, violent collision.
