Structured as a trick within a trick within a trick, Mamet's latest contribution to film noir is a mildly entertaining crimer that nonetheless exposes his strenuous efforts to outsmart the audience.

It's one of Mamet's best. It's also one of Hackman's best, most mercurial performances.

The movie is super fun, even if some of its tricks seem to strain credulity.

This is a world not unlike superhero comics, only in this world the heroes have the superhuman ability to knock down buildings with a split-second comeback line.

There's something offensive about how Mamet continues to win praise as a serious filmmaker with such a joyless picture, a picture that -- intentionally -- gives the audience so little.

We watch a movie like 'Heist' for the virtuosity of the execution, for the wit with which Mamet writes his way through the conventions, and the pleasure his actors take in chewing on his dialogue, in all of its repetition, shop talk, and artful profanity.

I couldn't believe any of it on any level, though it could be described as 'fun.'

[Mamet] is a giant in several areas, but I'm not sure moviemaking is one of them.

This cast is excellent. Heist, though, proves that enormously talented people can make a pretty lousy movie.
