Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
matt-48849 Why invest in A list actors if you're also going to put them next to actors who couldn't pull off an Arby's commercial? Why invest in quality actors and then give them 3 minutes of screen time? Why introduce a main character as the initial criminal mastermind, and then morph him into a knuckle dragging moron? Why allow a script with nonsensical details go forward? Are you THAT lazy? OK...is JD Morgan's character Diniro's son? Is the sick kid his grandchild?This movie was a hot mess.
gradyharp When is crime justifiable? Never, …but….That seems to be the philosophical question mulled in this fast beat thriller as written by Stephen Cyrus Sepher and directed by Scott Mann. While the film is primarily one of action, the impact of the starting characters is such that the theme seems more thoughtful than most action films.A father Luke Vaughn (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is without the means to pay for his daughter's medical treatment. As a last resort, he partners with a greedy co-worker Cox (Dave Bautista) to rob a casino owned by the agile but terminally ill man called The Pope (Robert DeNiro) and his maniacal right hand man, Dog (Morris Chestnut). When things go awry they're forced to hijack a city bus 657 driven by Bernie (DB Sweeney) and take the passengers hostage. Now, in a high speed chase, Vaughn will not only have to outwit the police, led by Officer Bajos (Gina Carano) who are in hot pursuit, but he will have to contend Dog in order to make it through the day alive. But we quickly learn that things are not what they seem, and Vaughn has more than one card up his sleeve.Clever, well conceived plot with many twists and turns and brought of by a very fine cast, including small parts by Kate Bosworth, Stephen C Sepher (yes, the writer!), Christopher Rob Bowen, Alyssa Julya Smith, Hawn Tran, and Tyler Jon Olson. A solid thriller worth an evening's watch.
Peter Pluymers "I'm here to ask a favor, a big one. How big? $300,000 big, at least.""The Trust" was about a robbery in "Ocean's Eleven" style by a "Dumb and Dumber" looking duo. In this film it's "Ocean's Eleven" mixed with portions of "Speed". But this time without an adorable Sandra Bullock at the steering wheel. Robert De Niro doesn't need to prove that he's a class actor. That's beyond dispute. But if you look at the list of films he played in the last few years, I can only conclude that he just did a favor for a bunch of friends. Sometimes his contribution is terribly limited (as in "The bag man" and "American Hustle"). Mentioning his name is obviously part of a purely commercial strategy so the movie will get some extra attention. And there are a few films of such a pitiful level, that you start to believe that De Niro is hopelessly addicted to acting and he can't refuse to cooperate each time a script is shoved under his nose.Mind you, this isn't the movie made in 2001 with Gene Hackman and Danny DeVito playing in it. I myself have never seen this version. But I am convinced that it can easily surpass this uninspired creation. Perhaps the chosen title is already a sign on the wall. Is there an even more meaningless and unoriginal title as "Heist"? Maybe it was intentionally to choose this title just to match it with the overall concept. Ultimately, there's nothing startling or innovative about this movie. It's a line up of clichéd events. Believe me. After one night, most details of the movie will be erased from your memory.Luke Vaughn (Jeffrey Dean), an ex-soldier and blackjack dealer at a casino of The Pope (Robert De Niro), an unscrupulous mafia boss, is facing a huge problem. The procedure for his terminally ill daughter costs a fortune. His plea directed at The Pope is being rejected. The only choice he has (apparently) is to rob the vault of this thriving casino with the cooperation of the disgruntled bouncer Cox (Dave Bautista). That the robbery wouldn't go smoothly was predictable. And during their escape they hijack a bus. What follows is a chase by a squadron of policemen and also the furious entourage of the Pope. It looked like "Smokey and the Bandit", but less humorous.The key words that first occurred to me were unoriginal, an obvious development and laziness. I was experiencing a whole range of deja vu's. And De Niro is a class actor who can make a memorable impression with ease, but his talent alone isn't enough to hide the fact that this was a not so exciting and rather boring movie. And Gina Carano isn't exactly the person who'll lift this movie to a higher level either. Not to mention the pretty senseless ending. It's because I'm a huge fan of De Niro that I didn't pull the emergency brake much earlier.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a man who works in a casino. He needs a lot of money to pay for her daughter's surgery. After a request to his boss for money gets declined, he robs the casino but the heist goes wrong.I was expecting this to be a B movie but it's way better than I expected. The story is intense, as the robbers are being chased after by the police and Mr Pope. There is action going on all the time, giving a nonstop thrilling adventure. The great thing about "Heist" is that it's not just mindless action, but action with a clear purpose and an emotional subplot that makes viewers care. However, the twist on the film doesn't make sense as the clues given are too subtle. I had to rewatch key scenes three times before understanding the twist. Anyway, I am positively surprised by this film, and I enjoyed watching it.
