Heist (2001)
When a crew of highly skilled jewel thieves is not paid the money they are owed for a job, they are forced to make one last, big heist for the man who cheated them. No one trusts anyone and every step is shaded with the unexpected.

It's one of Mamet's best. It's also one of Hackman's best, most mercurial performances.

[Mamet] is a giant in several areas, but I'm not sure moviemaking is one of them.

A perfectly pleasurable ride.

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.

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.

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.

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

Captivating David Mamet movie for grownups.

A minor work by a major guy.

The movie is super fun, even if some of its tricks seem to strain credulity.

I couldn't believe any of it on any level, though it could be described as 'fun.'

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.
