	Heist (2001) Movie Review
		(Are there any other type of aging thieves in heist films?) Danny DeVito is terrific as a back-stabbing fence who is forcing his hand by withholding the spoils from Hackman and his gang's last job.
		The plot is a tiny bit tired though, the dealings and double-dealings have a bit of a "been there done that" feel to them.
		Heist is minor league Mamet, but even small-time Mamet blows most of the competition out of the water.

		Heist is a pleasure to watch, and the greatest pleasure is to watch Mr.
		As a movie, Heist is merely an amiable time-killer.
		With a movie like this, there's no risk of spoiling the ending, because the entire plot is merely a formality trudging toward a foregone conclusion.

		There was an error at the hospital, you died at birth, your turn.
		"Heist" is actually a pretty good caper movie with a little bit of con artistry thrown in.

		Joe pleads that their latest heist was the last for his crew but Bergman thinks otherwise.
		“Heist” is one of those thief-dramas that takes itself overly seriously and relies heavily on its style and dialogue.
		There is some clever humor and ranting but for the first half of the film it’s like watching a glob of molasses droop out of a measuring cup as you pour.

	Heist, The (2001). Movie reviews by Dr. Edwin Jahiel.
		What is a constant, within this movie and in other films by Mamet is Mametspeak, the colorful vocabulary used by this writer's underworld creatures and most probably not used by real-life bad 'uns.
		The second heist is, I am tempted to say, a post-modern affair, immensely complex, surrounded by changing alliances, including both time-honored clichés of the genre as well as novelties.
		This movie is something of a fantasy, more feisty than heisty.

	Larry H's Movie Reviews - 2001
		The greatness of this movie is in the simple telling of a tale about folks that struggle in life to find their place in a community and enjoy some peace.
		This movie is pure Coenesque meaning the story written by the brothers revels in existing as far out on the edge as possible and still attract mainstream.
		Towards the end of the movie and the grogginess was almost overwhelming, I had a flashback that I was at the Astrodome and the Astros were losing 12-0 in the bottom of the ninth.

		Steven Soderbergh did a fabulous job directing this movie and having all the characters to connect to Danny Oceans group of 11.
		The planning time took up most of the movie, and you almost believe that it could be done after you see this.
		This movie is one of my favorites because the premise is great and the actors are great.

		The Heist is a very good movie with lots of plot twists.
		When you think the movie is over and you know what is going to happen another plot twist happens and it keeps going.
		I would recommend this movie for people who like action movies with very good plots that aren't predictable.

		By and large the dominant element in the movie is gratuitous chatter,banter, dumb chit-chat, booze, and heavy cuteness.
		I doubt that any spectator, on seeing this movie once (and I do not think there are many who could watch it twice), can come up with a rational description and explanation of the heist system.
		His movies were not about things, but about people.

		The team of David Mamet (writer/director) and Gene Hackman (actor) is receiving much praise for their current enterprise, the "caper" movie Heist.
		Similarly, Roger Ebert writes in the Chicago Sun-Times that Heist is the kind of film "that was made before special effects replaced wit, construction and intelligence.
		"Heist may hook you for a while and it's never uninteresting," she writes, "but there's no getting around it.

		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.
		Like many movies of its genre, Heist sports the basic plot of planning the biggest theft of the century, a con, and the dilemma of getting away with it.

	Jiminy Critic Movie Reviews - Review of Heist (2001)
		While I was watching Heist, I immediately was drawn to its similarity with another film that came out this year, The Score.
		Mamet takes this rule and turns it on his head; his dialogue is characteristically uncharacteristic, drawing attention to itself with its rapid-paced beat and plethora of clever catchphrases.
		Heist is a smartly-written and well-executed thriller, which is more than can be said for most of the thrillers out there nowadays (The Score excepted, of course)

		Hackman may be sleepwalking through the role but he is still capable of dominating a screen in a way few of his contemporaries have been able to emulate.
		As with all such movies (Soderbergh's Ocean's Eleven being a prime example), the real joy comes in the planning and execution of the heist itself and the conflict between the prime movers.
		Heist certainly has more than its fair share of twists and turns and is full of bluff, deception and double-crossing, keeping the viewer more than a little hooked right to the end.

	The Heist Movie Review
		While The Heist isn't quite as good as those pictures, it's still far better than most of the crap in your local theaters.
		Reminiscent of The Score from earlier this year, The Heist tells of an aging thief (a terrific Gene Hackman) who must pull off one last heist for nasty heavy Danny Devito.
		Like his character in the movie, Hackman is an aging pro.

		To pull off the heist, he needs to collaborate with a smooth conman named Jack (Edward Nurton), who also doubles as something else: a janitor at the Customs House named Brian who has a very apparent brain/speech impedimentand who knows every inch of the Customs House.
		If you're in the mood for a clever, intricate plot interlaced with intrigue and yes, even humour, this movie is for you.

		So Shear sends scantily clad Ginger to recruit Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman), a notorious ex-con, ex-hacker, ex-Man of the Year, gives Jobson an offer he can't refuse, and assigns him the task of hacking into the necessary systems to complete the huge robbery.
		It's also beneficial to the movie to have a decent cast.
		Although John Travolta is the lead character in this film and was paid more than Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry combined to star in it, his presence in the movie was hardly advertised so as not to turn off people from watching it.

		After an unimpressive summer movie campaign and a lackluster year, quality-wise at the box-office, it’s time for the coming of the fall – and the fall movie preview.
		Captivated by the promise of receiving the money owed to them from a previous robbery, a crew of highly skilled thieves decides to follow their leader on his last heist.
		In the original film, the gang was all WWII veterans who were paratroopers together; in this new version, it appears the various players are just various shady characters looking for one big heist (and you know how much I love heist movies!).

		Hackman's a retired theif wrapped up with feisty fence Danny DeVito for one more job with an equally tangled crew of comrades: Delroy Lindo, Ricky Jay and Rebecca Pidgeon.
		The lines of loyalty and love get blurred as the gold heist goes down, and the viewers are forced to keep a close eye on the constant switcheroos.
		Yeah, things spiral out of control toward the bloated ending, but the film's wonderfully barbed nature keeps this sting sharp.
