| Movie description | |
| 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. What seems like the perfect heist gets complicated, however, when Joe's "business" partner, Bergman (Danny DeVito), insists that his shifty nephew, Jimmy Silk (Sam Rockwell), join the crew--consisting of Joe's young wife, Fran (Rebecca Pidgeon), and longtime associates Bobby Blane (Delroy Lindo) and Don "Pinky" Pincus (Ricky Jay). A tense battle of wits and wills ensues, leading to plenty of twists and turns before the grand finale.
HEIST works wonderfully as a fast-paced, slight-of-hand caper flick. By focusing on dialogue over violence, Mamet allows his excellent script and remarkable cast to shine. Hackman (who seems incapable of giving a bad performance) and Lindo are particularly outstanding and carry the film as deftly as their characters plot their crime. Although the one-last-robbery tale has been told hundreds of times before, it's rarely been told better than this. | |

| Editorial reviews | |
| "...HEIST is an old-fashioned caper-flick about honor and the lack thereof....Mamet's direction is more fluid than it's ever been..." Premiere - p.86-7 - Glenn Kenny "...Clever....Hackman brings the material considerable authority with a subdued, wily turn..." Variety - p.62 - David Rooney "...Tight, snug and lovingly constructed....Mr. Mamet allows his eye to follow his ear and never lets his camera get in the way of the actors....It would be hard to imagine an actor more intelligent than Mr. Hackman..." New York Times - p.E14 - A. O. Scott "...[Featuring] a rock-solid Gene Hackman role and performance..." USA Today - p.4E - Mike Clark "...The set-ups are impeccably orchestrated and the acting's full bodied..." Total Film - p.91 - Kevin Harley "...Mamet loves language, but he also admires the guys-doing-stuff beauty of well-executed, precisely timed physical maneuvers. Hackman and DeVito, in particular, savor their roles like medium-rare steaks..." Los Angeles Times - Lisa Schwarzbaum (11/16/2001) "...Mamet gives the plot more twists than a bag of pretzels....HEIST delivers the kick of a job well done..." Rolling Stone - p.134 - Peter Travers "...The kind of caper movie that was made before special effects replaced wit, construction and intelligence..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (01/20/2002) | |
