5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Heist Movie, August 11, 2005
By SMS "sms-goaway" (United States) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Heist, May 30, 2006
By Adrienne Fischier (New York City, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
Adrienne Fischier, New York City

4.0 out of 5 stars A good preview of Thomas Crown Affair, January 11, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Heist (1988) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
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.
