HEIST (2001)

DAVID MAMET

Plot

Joe Moore is a veteran thief and damn good at his job. He has partners he can trust, a beautiful young wife, and enough dosh to prepare him for permanent retirement, but everything is about to take a nasty twist. Joe's face is caught on camera, his fence is holding back on money owed while blackmailing him into doing one last and very risky job, he has a new member of the team who is inept and dangerous, while the rest are preparing to split and his wife may be sleeping elsewhereÂ…things are not ideal. Heist is a slick thriller which keeps piling on the twists until the very last scene, in fact if there's a criticism it's that there are so many plot turns they almost cease to be unexpected.
