Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

adonis98-743-186503 A father is without the means to pay for his daughter's medical treatment. As a last resort, he partners with a greedy co-worker to rob a casino. When things go awry they're forced to hijack a city bus. Heist has a similar plot (to an extend) like Speed since there's an entire plot arc of the robbers hijacking a bus. Jeffrey Dean Morgan does a really good job, Dave Bautista has really made a big name for himself since 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy where he played Drax and he does a good job as well and the same goes for Robert De Niro and Kate Bosworth. This is no perfect film but it was fun and interesting enough in order to make me care for it's characters and the plot and for that it gets a 7/10!

sstephaniemark There are very few actors that are better than Robert De Niro today, but apparently this doesn't mean he always picks great roles. The film seems to be an Ocean's Eleven knockoff, with the plot revolving around a heist of a steamboat casino so one man (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) could raise money for his dying daughter, and De Niro plays the wicked casino owner. The plot sounds intriguing, but the execution was a joke. Most directors at least make an attempt when they use police scenes to make them as realistic as possible, but the actions of the police alone made this movie laughable. The scenes were so far fetched, which is fine, unless you are trying to pull off a believable film, that I could barely make it through the 1 hour and 32 minutes running time. I'm sure Jeffrey Dean Morgan took this role to star alongside De Niro, but why De Niro took it, I'll never know. There are many things to discuss about this movie, but I can't without spoiling it. So I will end by saying this: for the love of movies and film, do not see this movie. There are far too many decent movies to see, even halfway decent ones, that you could better spend your time watching.

Modern Monsters Titled the way a roadside motel could name itself The Ritz (the French title, Bus 657, is spot on), Heist is all consequences with no cause to speak of, if you except Cancer Child, that is. I mean, come on, CANCER CHILD? This, ladies and gentlemen, is a feel-good movie disguised as crime caper, so know that no one will get hurt but spectacularly dumb villains, that all included support cast will act unexpectedly smart/brave/noble, and that Robert de Niro has super powers. Oh, and Cancer Child will survive to her much needed operation. What?!Family here is both royal jelly, his secretive support and surveillance system dripping sustenance, and proletarian Jell'O, a compact morass, wobbly but unshakable. On one side Cancer Child, on the other Poor Rich Girl.In the middle stands Robert the Niro, accomplishing any Italian American's dream by playing a father and the Pope, ruling his empire (a steamboat casino called Swan) by crude rules, of which we are told three, a far cry from the Ten Commandments. Not in the Holy See yet, Bob.Commenting on his e-smoke as if his main minion has switched flavour from menthol to sodium sulfate, Bob pouts a lot, wears a ring the size of a coffee table and a neck chain which he doubtlessly uses to anchor the Swan when he leaves the premises. On the side, he launders dirty Chinese money with clockwork regularity, which has never drawn attention to the police before but hey, comes to the Chinese, mafia and dry-cleaning go hand in hand, eh?Us, the audience, are treated to a collage of scenes heisted from all kinds of superior movies, Ocean's Eleven and Speed being the more obvious. Bob can stay cool smoking in a gasoline-saturated vehicle, he's that good. Holy crap, indeed.The brainpower not allocated to plot reigns supreme on christening characters so there is no need to develop them. Around Pope gravitates Mr Tao (Mao, come on, too obvious!), Dante (who goes through hell) and Cox (who, well, sucks). More cryptic is Detective Bauhaus, or it is an elaborate joke at form over function?33% action, 33% drama, 33% nothing and only 1% its titular genre, Heist is nevertheless aiming at getting the money. Yours.

demhr My review is not about the actual content of the movie. My review is about the production quality, or lack thereof. Approximately 15 to 20 minutes into the movie, during the scene in Robert DeNiro's office there is a lamp that sends a streak of light across the screen. Right above the actors heads. I've never seen such an amateur looking mistake in a Hollywood production. Looks odd to me. Couldn't they angle that lamp shade differently? I mean did anyone watch this movie before releasing it to the public? Pretty amateur looking production from that aspect in my humble opinion. The lighting guy has done Bobby D a major dis-service. Bobby D is too good for this garbage.
