Gene Hackman plays the veteran ringleader of a gang of theives (Delroy Lindo, Ricky Jay and Rebecca Pigeon as Hackman's youngish wife) that pulls off complex heists for a despicable fence (Danny DeVito). After stiffing the gang on a jewelry robbery, DeVito forces the gang to go after a Swiss gold shipment and to use his son (Sam Rockwell) in the crime. Mistrust runs rampant as double-crosses threaten the split-second operation. (texte officiel du distributeur)

With any other cast, but especially without Gene Hackman, Heist wouldn't have gotten even those three stars. The story is ordinary, unsurprising, not at all imaginative... But the actors! The interplay of Hackman, DeVito, Lind and Rockwell is amazing, and so I had fun after all, I was even tense a few times (the road check, the plane) and I even laughed during the dialogues like "Don't you want to hear my last words?" - "I just did". It's really a shame about the flawed plot and many dead and boring places.__P.S. Not to forget - I do praise Shapiro's music.
