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.

Taught thriller
Ok ok, so its not the most original premise: wizend criminal goes in for one last job. howeverthis film tries to be nothing short of an action packed romp.

its little daft but never too much to spoil it and its short enough and fast enough to whisk you along with the ride.
Theres a great quoteable line about being cool as well He's so f**king cool... well you have to see it to hear the rest!
Expertly helmed and scripted serpentine twisted neo noir flick
Expertly helmed and scripted serpentine twisted neo noir flick with aging career criminal Hackman coerced into one final gig before retirement with the usual double and triple crosses along the way. Excellent cast pulls off the tricky dialogue and machinations at hand especially DeVito at his scummiest, Lindo at his canniest and Rockwell at his oiliest; all delivering the goods.
From The Killing to The Score, the heist movie has long been a Hollywood staple. After dealing with crime from such less well-worn angles as policeman's character study (Homicide) and con artistry and mind games (The Spanish Prisoner), writer-director David Mamet alights on this hoary chestnut. Of course he brings his trademark wit, savvy dialogue and plots twists. He's also assembled a decent cast, with the great Hackman ably supported by a punchy DeVito and a stalwart Lindo.
Hackman plays Joe Moore, a thief who is all set for contented retirement with his young wife (actually Mamet's wife, Pidgeon). But then there's "the Swiss job", an almost legendary heist t...
