5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Heist Movie, August 11, 2005

This review is from: The Heist (DVD)

Where can one start with a review of The Heist. It is a well crafted movie from begining to end. All the colorful characters are well defined and exciting to watch. There is a scene in the middle of the movie where the bad guys are attempting to figure out how Neil "Pierce" is going to rob the track and are able to predict a great many thing and still Neil is able to outwit them all and the cop who is trying to put him back in jail. The Gipsy Kings version of "My Way" at the end is great. Pierce Brosnan loved this story so much and the whole making of a caper movie in general and that this is one of the reasons he went on to develop and star in the remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair", but thats another movie review.

This review is from: The Heist (DVD)

A fun flick, with beautiful Brosnan growing into his bones
as he hit age 35. An elegant man playing a small-time hood
is a nice contrast. Note the hair slicked back. Audrey
Wood plays the bubble-headed moll who divides her favors
between Brosnan and Skerrit, showing little emotion for either
guy. Nice seedy race track atmosphere, pretty hot love scenes,
and a light hearted adio accompanied by the Spanish version
of "My Way". Recommended.
