To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a nice cast, I thought I might as well check it out. By now, I have seen more than half of the movies directed by David Mamet and even though the guy as quite a reputation (he has won the Pulitzer prize and was nominated for 2 Academy awards), I never really became a big fan of his work and this movie is a per... read more

David Mamet takes this story of thieves along many twists and turns, some of which work and some of which don't. Gene Hackman plays the brilliant leader of a gang (Delroy Lindo, Ricky Jay & Rebecca Pigeon as Hackman's youngish wife), which 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 nephew (Sam Rockwell) in the crime. No one trusts anyone and every step is shaded with the unexpected.

"Yllättävän kivuttomasti katsottava moderni heist-filmi jossa kusetetaan kusettajaa. Danny Deviton näkökulma kaikkia muita puolet lyhyemmästä vitun kovasta mafiapomosta on itseironiaa parhaimmillaan"

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- March 2019 (36 movies items)

" Crackle- 1hr. 48min. First Viewing Heist is, essentially, a perfect distillation of David Mamet's directorial efforts; the dialogue and craft elude for a while, but eventually you realize that it's just a typical genre film. An excellent cast, lead by a typically taciturn effort by Gene Hackman, chews into Mamet's verbose dialogue (Ricky Jay gets an all-timer: "My motherfucker's so cool, when he goes to bed, sheep count him") and give each scene a down-to-earth, lived-in weariness that adds som"
