[Mamet] is a giant in several areas, but I'm not sure moviemaking is one of them.

Structured as a trick within a trick within a trick, Mamet's latest contribution to film noir is a mildly entertaining crimer that nonetheless exposes his strenuous efforts to outsmart the audience.

Heist is better than The Score, not because it is more surprising or the actorly turns by the principals better realized, but simply because it is better written and the direction is more fluid.

Mamet plays his cards carefully enough to raise the performances into a meditation on the nature of trust itself.

Very disappointing new action flick by Mamet. Not worth a trip to the theatre for this one...
