Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

GL84 Tired of hustling on the street, a group of street punks decide to rob a bank, but after getting caught and forced to hide out inside they notice a gang of ravenous zombies attempting to break in and try to hold off the creatures enough to escape.This one had a few good points to it. The main thing with this one is that there's a really nice back-story for the creatures, which makes for some really good times here as, while the medical experiment thread has been done before, this time it actually works for the film. Best of all is that the proposed experiment would actually do some good to humanity rather than just being simply a reason to unleash the zombie hordes, and when it all gets explained, the changes made to them make the creatures a lot better than average zombies. These changes, getting away from the head-shot kill and by forcing them to come out only at night, are pretty great and by incorporating them into the film, make the film really fun. The zombies also have another big plus in the film by generating some big action scenes in here, from the first encounter where they overrun the police force outside in a swarm of bites, ambushes and bodies being ripped apart to the attacks inside the bank that were one-on-one off in the solitary rooms all the way to the full-on assault at the end, there's a lot of fun action in this one. That ending assault is the big highlight action scene here, as it's where they all start shooting up the zombies in a flurry of gunfire, impaling, blood-spraying and much more as it's so long that it eventually just becomes better the longer it goes on, and with some nice bloodshed done as well, it's enough to make it enjoyable. Along with the really creepy, impressive opening, these make this one relatively fun though this one here does have a few rather big flaws to it. For as much good as they do here, the zombies are responsible for two of the biggest ones. The bigger of the two is that, since there's so much time spent on the bank-robbery set-up, they hardly get any real time on-screen besides the opening attack and the fight at the end. They're absent from most of the movie as it forces the film into long stretches of inactivity which are hardly interesting as the film focuses on their struggles for too much instead of the zombie action, and in a zombie movie, that's never a real good sign. The other factor is that they're of the running zombie variety which makes them inferior to the other zombie variety since there's nothing about them similar to the classic zombie model of these creatures snarling and running around at quick speeds. Rather than being scarier, all they do is irritate when something should've been done about it. Aside from these, the next biggest problem some will have with it will be the rather bland dialog in here, since nearly everything in here is cursing of some sort, even in situations that don't call for it, and it's hard to really get into the explanations for everything when they're cursing at every turn. These here are the film's problems.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Nudity and a mild sex scene.

Claudio Carvalho In Miami, four smalltime thieves leaded by Ski (Brandon Hardin) decide to rob a bank in the small town of Maysville. The lord Hustle (E-40) demands a 10% commission and sends his experienced bodyguard Ackson (D.J. Naylor) to help the gang in their plan. He goes to the target bank to check the security system, but Ski decides to anticipate the plan for that afternoon. They succeed in the heist, but Deputy Kate (T-Love) activates the alarm and one of the criminals shoots Deputy Duff. When the bank is under siege of the police force, they are attacked by weird creatures. The former government agent Hunter (Big Daddy Kane) comes to the bank and tells that the vampire zombies had been contaminated by an experimental virus developed by the government through the subjects that have escaped from the laboratory, attacking people in the New Moon to feed themselves. The group joins force to survive to the massive attack of the creatures.The trash and gore "Dead Heist" is watchable without anything special. The story about a deadly heist in a wrong night is not original and should be better developed; the acting is flat, and the dialogs do not help the cast; and the special effects are only reasonable. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Noite Infernal" ("Hell Night")

lovecraft231 A bank heist goes horribly bad when (what else) the dead come in for food.As far as recent Urban Zombie movies go, "Dead Heist" is better than "Zombiez," but worse than "Hood of the Living Dead" and "Gangs of the Dead." That's not saying much, especially when you consider the fact that "Hood" and "Gangs" are bad movies too.The dead here are cut from the same cloth as the speedy zombies from the "Dawn of The Dead" remake and the infected from "28 Days Later" and it's sequel, only generic instead of interesting or frightening. The gore is nothing new, though the fact that the dead can only be killed by being shot in the heart (and you're to blame...) is a poor attempt at trying something different.As far as acting goes, Big Daddy Kane does the best job. He's not good, mind you, but he does the best job. Amusingly, while Bone Crusher and E-40 are advertised as staring in it, yet they aren't in the movie for very long-Bone Crusher appears in the beginning as a patron in a strip club so tame it could have passed for MTV's "The Grind", then disappears. Meanwhile, E-40 has less than 5 minutes of screen time as a porn director, and gives a "alright, where's my paycheck already" level performance. The rest of the cast ranges from a dead ringer for Vin Diesel to the white female cop, a white businessman thinking of joining the Nation of Islam (ha ha), and plenty of stereotypical gang banger characters.While not the worst recent Urban horror movie, there's still nothing worth recommending here. I have no idea whether or not the fact that this reminded me of the "Attack of the Street Pimps" bit from "Hollywood Shuffle" is a good thing or a bad thing. It's probably a bad thing.

theopryde There are two kinds of b movies out there, the ones that are jammed together in the most cynical fashion to wrench out a few bucks and nothing more. then there's movies like 'Dead Heist' where you can just tell that people with little to no budget got together for love of making movies and had a great time in the process. The dialogue is foul and quite hilarious for it, and while the plot is meager at best, there is something infectious (truly no pun intended) about the way everyone involved gives it their all. The small town locations are put to good use, and the violence is never anything but comic book bloody. This movie is nothing but fun and that is all it was ever meant to be. By the way, Zach Hanner rocks.
