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.

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.

While I do not rate Pierce Brosnan as one of the all-time great actors, I must say that for an action movie, tthis is one of my favorites. Pierce possesses wit and charm that you would not see again until 1999's Thomas Crown Affair." The plot is defined and the action is top-notch. Recommended for all, especially those of you who adore Pierce brosnan.

A well-crafted movie with an intricate plot, good characters, and a sense of humor. Brosnan is a bit more base as a rougher rogue than his 007 or Thomas Crown characters, but equally charming and with a similar sense of honor. When you see the heist itself, you can't help drawing a comparison with the remade Thomas Crown Affair -- shirts for bowlers. The movie will leave you satisfied, and possibly with a burning desire to cleverly avenge some past wrong. The supporting cast is also very good. Well worth an evening's viewing.

This is a really fun movie, and amazingly similar in plot to the remake of *Ocean's 11*, which came many years later.

Brosnan's character is like Danny Ocean, having spent his jail time plotting to get back his girl and get even with the guy who sent him to jail and walked away with the beauty. A cat-and-mouse game follows leading to the finale, where Brosnan's big plan is enacted.

Definitely worth watching.

I am so glad that I bought this movie -- Pierce Brosnan really knows his way around women and horses. I enjoyed the story.

pierce brosnan was greatin the movie very believable. it was good heist movie.held your attention from beginning to end a must for any pierce brosnan fan

You have Pierce to look at all through the movie. Plot, okay, but who cares. There is Pierce. Plot not original idea , good for when nothing is on television.

I loved the plot and how he organized it. Of course, since he's my hero, he couldn't miss. He has a wicked sense of humor and his timing is great.
