Critics Consensus

Heist stacks its deck with an all-star cast but this humorless action potboiler doesn't give them a good hand to play.

Chris Nashawaty

Entertainment Weekly

The heist in Heist is pretty pedestrian, and the film turns into Die Hard-on-a-bus with a couple of so-so twists and serviceable spasms of action. If that's what you're looking for, rent Speed instead.

Rated: C

Brad Wheeler

Globe and Mail

Everything is dully routine, with characters much too composed in volatile situations to be believed.

Rated: 1.5/4

As throwbacks go, it's more bearable than shoulder pads.

Working in this film's favor is the aforementioned brisk pace and the taut editing. It somehow adds to the sense of desperation and urgency that the lead pair feels. Overall, a passable action potboiler.

Rated: 3/5

It's yet another disappointing turn from the Oscar-winning actor, Robert De Niro - it's becoming difficult to believe that this is the same actor who played Jake La Motta in Raging Bull or Vito Corleone in The Godfather.

Rated: 2/5

... more tedious than exciting as it leads to a preposterous climax.

Waste of time and talent, such as it is. Deniro can't act anymore. Should be retired.

The only real thing this film has, is actors. I have a problem with movies that START with a totally implausible premise. (Spoiler!) The whole basis revolves around the main character NEEDING money, because "the hospital won't save his little girls life...UNLESS HE PAYS UPFRONT!" Now...I know our Healthcare System is absolutely horrible...but COME ON!! Yeah...hospitals kick out dying children ALL THE TIME!! Laughable from the start!

It's odd that only now I got to see this 2015 flick. I guess we must have been traveling when it appeared in the cinemas. Well, what can I say?! Having Robert de Niro appear in a few scenes does not elevate this movie into higher realms, but with a cast of normally violent flick actors this is also not really a B-Movie. It hangs somewhere in between, and as such it's quite well made with a decent script, copying certain scenes from other movies of this genre, but still retaining some originality. Though only slightly tense, it is still rather entertaining. 5 1/2 of 10 points

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Half this movie was about a casino heist gone wrong and the other half is a hostage situation on a bus.

Morgan does a good job in this. He's the only high point tho. Deniro is always great. Batista is… well. He screams a lot. Seems to be the only way he can act mad.. for the story, you'll need to suspend reality.. none of it made sense, and it the climax was very eye rollingly underwhelming.. I didn't regret watching it. There are definitely worse movies.. I recommend it. But don't go in expecting a good movie.
