Clunky and strained... Go to Full Review
J. Kim Murphy Variety 09/29/2023
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. Go to Full Review

2/4
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. Go to Full Review

3/5
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. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider 10/03/2023
Heist 88 takes a potentially rich and compelling story and shapes it into a series of dull cliches. Go to Full Review

Giorgio G Sep 13 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!! See more Ronald R. @RonaldMiamiMovieCritic Aug 30 Good Movie! Based on a True Story!! Recommended!!! A++ 🍿🎥🍿 See more Timothy E @Tnice17 Feb 18 I really enjoy this movie the storyline and everything. The actress was good. I give it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ again. See more Jan 22 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.

Based on true events See more Carlo C @CarloCoello 02/06/2024 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. See more Read all reviews
