Heist (2001)

£0.00


Country: US/CAN
Technical: DeLuxe 109m
Director: David Mamet
Cast: Gene Hackman, Rebecca Pidgeon, Delroy Lindo, Danny De Vito

Synopsis:

Professional robbers are double-crossed by their gangster employer and coerced into doing another job with the compromising presence of the latter's cowboy son.

Review:

Like the writer-director's House of Games this characteristically cool thriller delivers satisfaction through its display of smart movers getting the upper hand on their inferiors in every sense. At no point does the screenplay focus on the victims of their crimes, and the relationships between partners are only lightly sketched. However, there are one or two sequences of minutely detailed operation in the best caper tradition.
