Plot:
David Mamet's Heist is--not unlike many of his previous films--amusing, manicured, and fraught with an awkward tension. If you've seen The Spanish Prisoner or House of Games, you'...( read more

None yet...Got one?
Mamet's script as razor-sharp as ever, this time focusing on diamond thieves. Plenty of double and triple crosses and f-words abound.
For once, Mamet dispenses with all but two of his usual team of stage actors and their rather hammy style in favour of a great cast of movie actors who give Mamets familiar dialogue a fresh delivery. As usual, holes everywhere in the plot, but it keeps you gripped all the way so it doesn`t matter! Lindo and DeVito are particularly good, I love that line Lindo gives to one of DeVito`s henchmen when both are pointing guns at each other: "Your weight, or your FATE, right now!" And ofcourse, because it`s a Mamet script, he has to say it twice, say it twice I say! Great stuff!
Terrific dialogue ("He's so cool, sheep count him!"), excellent execution and a solid cast; just a few too many twists at the end. Also, the film has a killer score. The only miscast here is Rebecca Pidgeon as the 'chick;' no redeeming qualities there. Otherwise, great job Mamet.
Another one of the taut scripts from David Mamet with rat a tat dialogue and featuring mainly method and stern actors. A guys film that is thoroughly enjoyable for the crime genre.
Predictable but interesting and smart. The movie does have a couple of cool twists and the dialogue is clever. However, there are a bit too many plot/character twists that just reduce the credibility too much. But the cast is very convincing.
