Heist – Der letzte Coup (2001)

Heist – Der letzte Coup: Directed by David Mamet. With Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito, Delroy Lindo, Sam Rockwell. A career jewel thief finds himself at tense odds with his longtime partner, a crime boss who sends his nephew to keep watch.

“In u0026quot;Heistu0026quot;, Hackman plays and aging thief who, saddled with a beautiful young wife, no pension, and the disintegration of the old school thief ethic, decides to pull one last job so he can sail off into the sunset with his babe. The film, fraught with implausibilities, is all about whou0026#39;s the smarter thief (which, of course, would be the one with all the loot at the end) and deals with strategizing, conflict containment, greed, and other thief problems while forsaking action stuff (stunts, chases, sex, etc) as it labors through its somewhat convoluted plot. Good old Hollywood thief stuff with a solid cast worth a watch. Turn off brain and enjoy.”
