Inspired by true events, HEIST 88 is the unbelievable story centered on Jeremy Horne (Courtney B. Vance), a criminal mastermind with an innate ability to convince anyone to do just about anything, who decides to pull one last job before going to prison. He recruits four young bank employees to steal close to $80 million dollars in a daring and brazen assault on the U.S. banking system. The film takes place in a time before widespread computerization and the vast cybersecurity of today.

Clunky and strained...

Variety

It’s a crime film that finds little joy in criminality, crammed with characters who’ve been backed into a corner, hindered by an overarching morality that doesn’t match the material.

Heist 88 picks up once the plan gets set into motion, but director Menhaj Huda and the screenplay give cursory lip service to the backstories and the action seems rather clunky at moments.

Rated: 2/4

Different from many movies that feature crimes committed by Black perpetrators, here the story focuses on bank employees who are at first too honest to participate in the crime.

Rated: 3/5

Heist 88 takes a potentially rich and compelling story and shapes it into a series of dull cliches.

Being apparently quite low budget, it's still surprisingly well done. Neither had I ever heard of this real heist in 1988, nor of this 2023 flick. Anyway it's quite alright to while away those 1 1/2 hours with a very unexpected twist at the end. 5/10 points!!

Péssimo. Fotografia horrorosa. Por alguns segundos você fica tentado a ver mais, mas no final se arrepende de ter clicado o primeiro play! Obrigada pelo desperdício de tempo.

Historia sobre un robo bancario que en realidad ocurrió, en donde las cosas no salen de acuerdo a lo planeado. El argumento y la progresión de la película es bastante pedestre y básico.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
