Review of Heist

Heist (2001)
5/10
Who cares?
22 September 2002
Some people are compelled to read a book through to the end, boring or not & are often the same way with movies. Not me.

Watched this for 45 minutes (about 30 minutes longer than required) before we canned it. Hackman was barely passable. Why does he try to act 30 years younger than his age, trying to remain glibly hip long beyond his maturity? I kept thinking: he's well over 60-65 -- would he really give a **** or be this way in real life? Negative.

Everyone in this movie was cynical, bitter, constantly scheming & scamming. To tell the truth, they were all losers who I wouldn't want in my circle.

A totally unnecessary movie, waste of time & talent. (My terminology is decidedly outdated, but then so am I.)
