ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Turtle Heart JD Morgan gets a lot of work. His work is unwatchable, not credible, and it is just strange that he is actually employed as an actor. He only plays himself. He is not an actor, just someone who grins for a camera. Each and every part he appears in he plays the same one dimensional character. Robert diNero of course has such a great reputation, I wanted to watch even with Morgan on board. I could not finish this work of claptrap. I came away believing DiNero is finished. His last several films have all be unwatchable. He looks like an old burned out alcoholic in this film. Stiff. Emaciated. Shrivelled up. The plot? There is a casino. It gets robbed, in part to save a sick little girl yeah, right), the robbers get on a big bus that is followed by a million police. The supporting cast is useless and forgettable when they are not being obnoxious. The plot is impossible, well beyond suspension of disbelief to the point where one wonders how drunk and/or stoned the people who green-lighted this pretentious nonsense? This film is a nail on the coffin of a declining Robert DiNero. JD Morgan proves he is a ghost without talent; it would be great to say something good about a film like this, but I just can't. Don't waste your time. RIP Robert DiNero.
ivan55 I don't know if they used DSLRs or something similar to record, but the quality of the lenses they used is horrible. Blurry images everywhere. People record better quality YouTube videos of product reviews these days, and this is a film. The acting is not very good either, looks pretty fake unfortunately.
view_and_review So I thought this movie was something totally different. I actually thought this was a movie that came out years ago in which DeNiro played a burglar alongside Edward Norton. Come to find out that the title of that movie was The Score. Although there was a movie called Heist from 2001 with Gene Hackman. This was neither of those. This wasn't nearly as intelligent as either of them. In fact this movie was hardly watchable, which is extremely disappointing since DeNiro was in it. The plot is fairly simple considering the title: there was a heist. Negan, er um Jeffrey Dean Morgan, plays a struggling card dealer whose daughter is sick. He needs a ton of money to keep her on the list for a critical surgery. I didn't get it wrong, I said he needed money to keep her on a surgery list. I never knew you had pay for that. So the scene is set with that simple backstory. And everything that followed was truly simple. The entire operation, the behavior of the principal actors, and the decision making was appalling. A-PALL-ING. There was a series of some absolutely deplorable decisions that made no sense. I know that misdirection was the driving force behind a lot of the events but like Danny Glover said in Lethal Weapon, "I'm too old for this ****". Be more creative, be more intelligent, or just be better.
kosmasp The movie itself is very predictable. Even a twist is not that much of a twist, though it doesn't really make much sense if you think about it. But all is carried throughout the length of the movie, because you have some really strong actors in this. You can also question the morality of it and how it deals with certain things.But it's just a movie and the characters may be plain (most of them), but that's why this isn't top rated either. It's a nice little thriller movie, which might think it's more than it is, but that's OK. It's better to set higher goals, than just aiming too low. Even with the misses and flaws, this still can be enjoyed
