What to Know

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.

C
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. Go to Full Review Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail Nov 13, 2015
1.5/4
Everything is dully routine, with characters much too composed in volatile situations to be believed. Go to Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post Nov 13, 2015
2/4
As throwbacks go, it's more bearable than shoulder pads. Go to Full Review Reagan Gavin Rasquinha The Times of India Nov 7, 2017
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Marija Djurovic Cairo360 Apr 1, 2016
2/5
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. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Dec 31, 2015
... more tedious than exciting as it leads to a preposterous climax. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ian R @RT23899272 Jun 4, 2026 Preposterous movie. The cast just makes it worse. Can't believe that DeNiro has descended to this level. Long gone are the days of him being the star of anything. In any event it is a very mundane plot. Not worth the time. See more Madam D @Madam1948 Jun 21, 2025 Not a great new type of film, but there was enough to keep me watching all the way through. See more Michael M @RT57319039 Jul 25, 2024 This movie obviously has terrible reviews but I found it very entertaining. See more alan g @agenser Apr 24, 2024 Waste of time and talent, such as it is. Deniro can't act anymore. Should be retired. See more Giorgio G @GioBlob Jul 29, 2023 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 See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic Feb 13, 2023 Half this movie was about a casino heist gone wrong and the other half is a hostage situation on a bus.
