Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Leofwine_draca American Heist is a low rent Canadian thriller about, you guessed it, a team of robbers teaming up to pull the ultimate in bank heists. It's an overworked genre for sure and the best this B-movie can do is add a couple of recognisable actors to the cast. Sadly, it turns out to be an absolutely brain-dead piece of entertainment thanks to the awful script, which thinks incessant profanity is a good substitute for wit and realism.Hayden Christensen, the ill-fated star of the STAR WARS prequels who quickly faded into obscurity thereafter, is the film's slightly obnoxious lead. Obscuring him at every turn is Adrien Brody, a far distance from his work in Polanski's THE PIANIST. Brody somehow gives a good performance despite his foul-mouthed and moronic dialogue, and he's one of the reasons I kept watching. The actual heist scene isn't too bad, but it's late in the day when it takes place and there's a lot of long-winded relationship stuff and melodrama to get through before that point.

Floated2 American Heist struggles with many things, as for a straight to video film. Starring Adrien Brody and Hayden Christensen. Featuring in the film, is shown as Brody's slim, wiry frame is muscled here in a fashion that recalls his presence in Predators. Although there, his makeover felt like a stunt, but in American Heist it lends wasted subtext to a desperate protagonist. Occasionally, we see Brody moves you in spite of himself, and trying to act to lift up the film but it doesn't work, with the way of the weakened writing and directing. A positive about the film and its characters is the presence of Hayden Christensen,where he makes a good hero and shows some warmth in his scenes with Jordana Brewster, however only to noticing their subplot doesn't amount to anything at all. American Heist tends to play as a lesser Heat or the Town.

dhoepp Most of the reviews on this film are from people that want super fast cars and explosions with super intelligent heist tactics. This is not that film. But it is not a bad film.Not a bad movie at all. I really liked it. If you want a super high budget blockbuster, this is not your movie. If you want to feel the characters and understand their pain, and you can watch slow movies a gain something from them, I recommend this movie. It is definitely a B film, but both of the characters are good actors. You really feel what they are experiencing and what they have been through. I do not regret watching this film at all. But I can enjoy a good film, and I can understand the slower films.
