Description:
Gene Hackman plays the veteran ringleader of a gang of theives (Delroy Lindo, Ricky Jay and Rebecca Pigeon as Hackman's youngish wife) that pulls off complex heists for a despicable fence (Danny DeVito). After stiffing the gang on a jewelry robbery, DeVito forces the gang to go after a Swiss gold shipment and to use his son (Sam Rockwell) in the crime. Mistrust runs rampant as double-crosses threaten the split-second operation.

David Mamet's Heist is--not unlike many of his previous films--amusing, manicured, and fraught with an awkward tension. If you've seen The Spanish Prisoner or House of Games, you're by now familiar with the plot-subverting gambit of the double-cross turned triple- and then quadruple-cross. Heist sticks to the formula. Likewise, the quips and laconic wit that adorn what can most accurately be called "Mametspeak" are again on display: "Cute as a pail full of kittens," for instance, and "Everybody needs money; that's why they call it money." What you haven't yet seen in a Mamet film is the magisterial charm of Gene Hackman. In the role of Joe Moore, an aging criminal out for one final score before cashing in, Hackman shows us all (Mamet included) how it's done, embodying tough-but-clever effortlessly. Delroy Lindo, as Joe's partner Bobby, picks up on Hackman's ultra-cool and gives plenty in return. While the script and the remaining cast (Danny Devito, Rebecca Pidgeon, Sam Rockwell) are serviceable, Heist is entirely Hackman's show to steal. --Fionn Meade

This movie has so many twists that you really can't miss any of it, or you will be missing alot!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed it all, and it really kept me guessing.
Gene Hackman was very clever, and surprising at every turn.
Although somewhat violent, if you like a good story, you will love this movie.

When ratings for this film are averaged, the result is always mediocre. Why? Because people either absolutely love this film, or hate it. Well, if you're head's in the oven and your feet are in the freezer, on average you're quite comfortable (in between). What I find to be the case, however, is that people who do not like this film typically don't get it. Not only do they miss the intricate plot twists, they do not appreciate the world that Mamet is immersing us in. The dialogue in this movie ... Read More

If you think, like me, that David Mamet is a brilliant writer, you're bound to be disappointed by Heist. This is a decidedly minor work in the screenwriter/director's career. It has some good lines ("Everyone needs money. That's why they call it money") and a fine cast, but it seems contrived and even fake. Mamet can certainly do better than this.

I bought this movie because I only saw the ending while staying in a motel during a recent trip. I was going to rent it to see the WHOLE movie instead of just the ending, but the price was so good to buy that I didn't bother renting it. I like pretty nearly all of the Gene Hackman movies.
This is one of those movies that you are always a little bit behind because the plot has lots of twists and turns in it. Kind of like the old Mission Impossible TV series episodes. Lots of action, but ... Read More
