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

The movie is super fun, even if some of its tricks seem to strain credulity.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Rotten
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.
Charles Taylor, Salon.com

A perfectly pleasurable ride.
