Heist

Duration :

110

Summary: Writer-director David Mamet (The Spanish Prisoner) delivers a stirring combination of visual style and verbal flair in this "enthralling" (Washington Post) crime caper. Gene Hackman stars as Joe Moore, an aging burglar who is caught on camera during a jewel heist and is forced to retire. Danny DeVito co-stars as Bergman, a shady money handler who holds back on Joe's cut of the loot...unless the crook agrees to take on one last job: the theft of a heavily guarded shipment of Swiss gold. Delroy Lindo, Rebecca Pidgeon and Ricky Jay co-star as Hackman's partners in crime while Sam Rockwell plays Bergman's obnoxious nephew--all of whom wind up involved in a dizzying circle of twists and turns. "Heist is the kind of caper movie that was made before special effects replaced wit, construction and intelligence" (Roger Ebert). (R) (AC,AL,V)
