Despite a high-concept idea and a good cast, this crime thriller feels somewhat half-baked and rushed. It might once have been promising, but it seems like something went wrong along the way.

Everything is dully routine, with characters much too composed in volatile situations to be believed.

Caught between genre potboiler and would-be human drama, "Heist" doesn't have a mark to hit. But it leaves some good impressions.

Echoes of better movies abound in Stephen Cyrus Sepher and Max Adams' screenplay, mixed with an illogic entirely their own.

It's yet another disappointing turn from the Oscar-winning actor, Robert De Niro - it's becoming difficult to believe that this is the same actor who played Jake La Motta in Raging Bull or Vito Corleone in The Godfather.

The heist in Heist is pretty pedestrian, and the film turns into Die Hard-on-a-bus with a couple of so-so twists and serviceable spasms of action. If that's what you're looking for, rent Speed instead.

As throwbacks go, it's more bearable than shoulder pads.

... more tedious than exciting as it leads to a preposterous climax.

The film sets out to do nothing, and I think it does 'nothing' very well (either way you read this is fine).

Whatever its flaws, "Heist" is to be commended for repeatedly finding ways to distract us from them.

Unexpected, fast and well acted are the three terms which I'd use to describe this adaptation from director Scott Mann. [Full review in Spanish]

As vapidly generic as its title, British director Scott Mann's "Heist" is a by-the-numbers crime thriller that squanders a decent cast, including Robert De Niro, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Dave Bautista.
