    • Trivia
      Gene Hackman mentioned in several interviews that he found shooting the film difficult and somewhat uncomfortable because he was so much older than everyone involved. He therefore kept much to himself, and in the end managed to draw on that feeling of being an outsider in the group for his portrayal.
    • Goofs
      The New Zealand passport that Joe is handed, which he refers to as "good work", is the wrong color.
    • Quotes

      Jimmy: So, is he going to be cool?

      Pinky: My motherfucker is so cool, when he goes to bed, sheep count him.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening Warner Bros., Morgan Creek, and Franchise Pictures logos are in black and white.

      Featured in At the Movies: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone/Heist/Shallow Hal/Maze (2001)

    6/10
    Too complicated to be a classic
    Based on R1 DVD

    David Mamet is famed for complicated plots and the Heist is no exception. Unfortunately for the viewer - Mamet neglects to have the characters explain what they intend to do before they do it so it difficult to know when they switch from Plan A to Backup Plan B to Alternate Plan C .. this happens a lot in the movie. It's also impossible to figure out what the individual characters believe to be the current working plan. All of these leads to a loss of tension as you sit back and wait and see how it plays out.

    A good robbery movie which could have been better.
