Review of Heist (2001) by C C — 10 Jan 2013

In the genre 'master-thief has to do one last job before he can retire in safety, but something goes terribly wrong...' this is one of the few that doesn't fall prey to clichés and a predictable plot.

This film has so many surprise twists it will make your head toll, and when you start guessing what the next twist will be, you're always proven wrong --that's what I like about it. All the characters are backstabbing each other and manipulating one another, so you can never tell who to trust.

Great role for Gene Hackman.
