Captivating David Mamet movie for grownups.

This cast is excellent. Heist, though, proves that enormously talented people can make a pretty lousy movie.

A minor work by a major guy.

[Mamet] is a giant in several areas, but I'm not sure moviemaking is one of them.
November 12, 2016
We watch a movie like 'Heist' for the virtuosity of the execution, for the wit with which Mamet writes his way through the conventions, and the pleasure his actors take in chewing on his dialogue, in all of its repetition, shop talk, and artful profanity.

I couldn't believe any of it on any level, though it could be described as 'fun.'
November 24, 2001
The movie is super fun, even if some of its tricks seem to strain credulity.
September 29, 2015
It's one of Mamet's best. It's also one of Hackman's best, most mercurial performances.

This is a world not unlike superhero comics, only in this world the heroes have the superhuman ability to knock down buildings with a split-second comeback line.
November 09, 2001
A perfectly pleasurable ride.
December 05, 2006
Structured as a trick within a trick within a trick, Mamet's latest contribution to film noir is a mildly entertaining crimer that nonetheless exposes his strenuous efforts to outsmart the audience.
November 16, 2001
There's something offensive about how Mamet continues to win praise as a serious filmmaker with such a joyless picture, a picture that -- intentionally -- gives the audience so little.
