Synopsis: A gang of robbers is assigned by its contractor a job of stealing some gold bars from a plane. They got a problem though: said contractor wants a man of his own in the operation.
Appraisal: This filmmaker apparently has a thing with deceit and betrayal: first was "House of Games", then "The Spanish Prisoner" (both about con men), and now "Heist", which is not about con men, but has some robbers deceiving their contractors. I was not impressed with it; to be honest, I was on the verge of boredom for most of the movie. It's an ice cold, mechanical movie, without memorable characters or spectacular sequences. The obsession with details and original scams cannot make any of it any less flimsy than it is: nothing can guarantee that any of this would have worked in an actual situation since any fluctuation in suspicion would bring the whole plan down in one second.
