...a perfectly watchable (yet somewhat forgettable) piece of work.

Clearly, the filmmakers sacrificed internal logic in order to deliver a direct-to-video farce that clocks in at 90 minutes on the button.

Rated: 1/5

Anything with these three actor's is watchable. The story is a bit far fetched, but it holds your attention. If you want something that is pretty stress free and has a good ending, this is good time filler.

The DVD I watched was simply titled "The Heist" with the word "Maiden" omitted. It's not all bad, but it feels like an afternoon TV movie with OTT casting. The material they had to work with just seemed too implausible to me from the beginning. I found the musical score irritating, and not in keeping with the age of the characters. The story was far fetched before adding the anniversary vacation thread which for me just made it silly. While there were lots of scenes of the heist happening, why they were happening sometimes seemed unclear to me and any intended comedy misfired, Unfortunately, I never managed to invest in either the story or the characters and therefore could not recommend this movie.

Walken didn't have to steal the painting, it was his wife all along! The Shoveler did ok, and Freeman played a weak man for a change.

Garbage writing and comedy wise. The plot was ludicrous, the characters were one-dimensional idiots, the sets/props/costumes were bland, and the pacing was dragged out. However, the main cast put on reasonable performances, the cinematography and visual effects were acceptable, and the soundtrack was suitable for the genre. Borderline watchable, but it should have never been made.
