Mindy Farabee Los Angeles Times Ultimately reframing the advancement of free market ideology of the last four decades as class warfare against the have-nots, the documentary manages to widen its scope without losing its narrative thread. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 28, 2012 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Though myriad aspects of its story have already been probed in greater depth elsewhere, Frances Causey and Donald Goldmacher's Heist is well timed as a one-stop summary of reasons for ordinary Americans to be furious at our financial systems. Aug 28, 2012 Full Review Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine The film provides a crisp, succinct answer to a question that nags most Americans: What the hell happened? Rated: 3/4 Mar 3, 2012 Full Review Brent Simon Shared Darkness Heist is a cinematic gut punch, to be sure, but not one entirely devoid of hope. Aug 28, 2012 Full Review Kam Williams AALBC.com A persuasive case for the swift reinstatement of watchdog laws to prevent bailed-out Wall Street from turning the America Dream into a neverending nightmare for folks on Main Street. Rated: 4/4 Mar 1, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
