      Carlo C 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 02/06/24 Full Review Sally G I really appreciated the originality and unpredictability of this movie. For all its flaws that other critics point out, it had a fresh point of view and story that made it much more enjoyable than the run of the mill action flicks I have seen in the hundreds. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review PinkGlitterMom O Oh boy, this movie was amazing. Courtney Vance delivered an amazing performance as always. While being based on actual events, I did not know what events took place. The end was shocking and I never saw it coming! The support roles were equally impressive as Vance. I fully recommend it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Landen B Seemed very sloppily put together, the backstory for the one character was super stretched out. Overall, the whole movie seems clunky and never moves at a consistent pace. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Mark B It was an ok movie with ok acting. You didn't know what the role of some characters were. The ending was a bit ambiguous, did the kids get the immunity they asked for or did they get thrown in prison. I hate movies that leave the ending unfinished for you to figure out. If I wanted to figure it out I would have been a script writer, but I watch a movie to be told a story with a beginning, middle and end. Supposed to be based on true events but the story didn't feel believable to me. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/11/23 Full Review Josh R Cheap movie, but a good idea...

      Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Clunky and strained... Rated: 2/4 Sep 30, 2023 Full Review J. Kim Murphy 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. Sep 29, 2023 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News 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 Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media 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 Oct 11, 2023 Full Review John Serba Decider Heist 88 takes a potentially rich and compelling story and shapes it into a series of dull cliches. Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
