Heist
2001
**
Director: David Mamet
Cast: Gene Hackman, Danny De Vito, Rebecca Pidgeon, Sam Rockwell

A career criminal reluctantly agrees to do one more job before retirement, as if things were ever that straightforward, especially in a David Mamet movie. The heist is planned and carried out, and the characters double-cross and shoot each other, but apart from a few lines of snappy dialogue, this is an utterly listless drama that never pulls you in.
