  Heist (2001): Reviews
Heist is a pleasure to watch, and the greatest pleasure is to watch Mr.
Heist is a neat, bouncy, minor-key crime procedural that shakes no rafters.
Passable but never exciting, Heist is on a level with those minor Burt Lancaster action pics the actor's name helped bankroll in the '70s.

 Heist
Heist has many of the same elements that other David Mamet movies have.
As a caper movie, Heist is not that satisfying because of its utter reliance on everybody following certain habits and reacting certain ways in situations.
However, Heist is not a movie where dialogue is that important.

Plot Outline: A jewel thief's nephew is sent along on a heist to ensure a longtime partner in crime stays honest about the division of the loot.
"Heist" evidences Mamet's overuse of Mametesque devices which are becoming really rather retreaded, tired cliches in the types of movies he tends to do.
The heist itself is a pretty well-conceived scenario and it sets up the triple- and quadruple-twists that come in the end.

 The Mavens' Word of the Day
The word heist, which is used chiefly in senses referring to robberies, is a pronunciation variant of hoist.
Now, heist is associated exclusively with the various underworld senses of the term and is popularly perceived as a different word from hoist.
Semantically, heist refers to the "lifting" of the stolen goods, rather than the lifting of one's hands in the air during a robbery, as you seem to suggest.

 Heist
Heist didn't cover any new ground, but the cast and Mamet's expertise with witty banter make it worthwhile.
Written and directed by David Mamet, HEIST is a crime thriller that follows aging master thief Joe Moore (Gene Hackman) as he plans one last robbery before literally sailing off into the sunset.
Heist is Mamet's biggest and most accessible thriller to date, and if you've never seen any of his films, the movie will work its devilish magic.

 Heist (NBC) - Reviews from Metacritic
"Heist" is good TV -- not great yet, but good -- from the cast to the suspenseful pacing and a cool musical score.
Employing the kind of overly clever, self-consciously "witty" dialogue that unfailingly announces a lack of real ideas on the part of the writers, "Heist" is by far the least compelling of these new crime-life series.
The writing in "Heist" is self-consciously forced, as if the writers are breaking their backs to be quick-witted and clever.

Heist (2001), written and directed by David Mamet, certainly involves a lot of criminal activity, if you couldn't tell that from the title.
With regards to Heist, it's very difficult to tell if what's happening is for real or a part of some elaborate plan designed to put other events into motion.
They have similar plotlines and while Heist is superior in terms of Dialogue, the Score had more of a payoff and better pacing.

Since 1880 the present tourist resort has developed very rapidly from the small fishing village of Knokke to merge with the residential suburb Het Zoute and the newer suburb of Albertstrand, and until the Thirties was one of the leading seaside resorts in Europe, patronized by the British.
In recent years the coastal towns of Heist and Duinbergen have been absorbed into the growing built-up area.

 Heist : filmcritic.com Movie Review
Heist twists and turns along the road of documenting the shady life of career jewel thief Joe Moore (Gene Hackman) and his posse of thieves -- Bobby Blane (Delroy Lindo) and Don "Pinky" Pincus (Ricky Jay).
Of greater concern is the recycling of plot points from Ronin (which Mamet co-wrote using an alias), dealing with a similar plot involving double-crossing thieves on the run.
But the main problem with Heist is how surprisingly predictable the story is. Unlike the similar yet far superior The Score, there's never any surprise during Heist's twisting.

Heist follows a team of L.A. robbers, led by Dougray Scott (Dark Water) and Steve Harris (The Practice), who plot to rob three Beverly Hills jewelry stores simultaneously.
Everybody in Heist maintains a hip poker face, and Mickey spouts ostentatious existential philosophy (once he decided the world was meaningless, ''robbing faceless, hegemonic corporations seemed, in a strange way, the right thing to do'').
Liman and company are trying something formally daring and concise — creating a TV show that has the symmetry of a sestina, with repetitions (of words, of camera angles) that loop back to the beginning.

The game in question is Eve Online, an open ended sci-fi mmorpg with a heavy emphasis on roleplaying, where developers try to give their players as much freedom as possible, and where corporate espionage and political intrigue have become an integral part of the game.
The perpetrator of the heist was the Guiding Hand Social Club (GHSC) corporation (a corporation being similar to a clan in Eve); a freelance mercenary outfit that offers their services (which usually involves corp infiltration, theft and assassination) to the highest bidder.
Over a year in planning, the GHSC infilitrated their target's corp with their own members and gained their trust, as well as access to the corp hangers, with time.

As they struggled to remove a heavy-framed Rembrandt from the silk-draped wall of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the two thieves abruptly stopped as a high-pitched alarm beeped from the baseboard.

And now this ultra slick flick Heist, full of Mamet lines that only make sense in a vacuum.
Of the two 'rip-off' flicks this year (Frank Oz's The Score being the other) I enjoyed this for the acting, the dialogue but most of all, for the pacing.
The pacing factor is what makes Heist better than The Score, no doubt about it.

From The Killing to The Score, the heist movie has long been a Hollywood staple.
Hackman plays Joe Moore, a thief who is all set for contented retirement with his young wife (actually Mamet's wife, Pidgeon).
But then there's "the Swiss job", an almost legendary heist that is spoken of in awed terms by Joe's gang, the loyal Bobby (Lindo) and Pinky (Jay), and their mobster fence, Bergman (DeVito).
