adonis98-743-186503 A father is without the means to pay for his daughter's medical treatment. As a last resort, he partners with a greedy co-worker to rob a casino. When things go awry they're forced to hijack a city bus. Heist has a similar plot (to an extend) like Speed since there's an entire plot arc of the robbers hijacking a bus. Jeffrey Dean Morgan does a really good job, Dave Bautista has really made a big name for himself since 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy where he played Drax and he does a good job as well and the same goes for Robert De Niro and Kate Bosworth. This is no perfect film but it was fun and interesting enough in order to make me care for it's characters and the plot and for that it gets a 7/10!

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.

TdSmth5 In the intro two guys are being enhanced-interrogated by some guy. He wants to know who stole the $10k. Then the boss arrives and gives one of those villain speeches about his rules and why he can't have people steal money from him. The two don't end up well.Some guys in clown masks are running. They stop and hijack a bus.Now we are taken a week earlier. We meet a long-time casino employee named Vaughn. He's got a daughter with cancer who needs surgery but he has no money and the hospital is about to kick her out. He's got a few days to come up with the money. He tries to talk to Pope, the casino boss from the intro. But Pope recites the rules that the business is not a charity. Vaughn insists but gets himself beaten up by Pope's sidekick. Cox, a recent casino employee is watching all this attentively. And one night approaches Vaughn with a plan to steal money from the casino. Of course Vaughn isn't interested at first but changes his mind once he's out of options.Cox's plan involves two other guys. He has realized that once a week a guy shows up in the casino and purposely loses a ton of money every time. A couple of days later another guy shows up every week who always wins at the roulette. Clearly the casino is laundering money, which means if they steal it, Pope isn't going to go to the police. Cox's initial plan is no good so Vaughn suggests they go in a specific time a guard goes on coffee break, kill the lights for some reason, and walk into the vault for which he has the codes and then just walk out. Cox insists on bringing weapons, Vaughn protests in vain.The day of the heist the gang makes it into the vault and grab the money but on their way out the guard is back so they shoot him. The lights going out alerts the bad guys of course so they are watching out. And when they see our three guys a shootout ensues. That causes the fourth guy waiting outside in the car to leave in a hurry.So now we're back at the beginning the with the guys running on the street and hijacking the bus. For some reason one of them shoots his pistol in the air. That catches the attention of a cop parked nearby. Now the chase is on.On the guys was shot and needs assistance. Vaughn starts talking to the cop and since he sounds reasonable, she believes him and helps him out. In turns out Cox is pretty out of control so Vaughn is indeed the reasonable one looking out for the bus passengers, who include a pregnant woman, a vet student, an Asian kid, and a guy in a beaver suit. There are some others as well but we don't learn anything about them.Meanwhile Pope's sidekick is researching and going after the guys on his own to get the money back no matter what. Pope warned him not to get Vaughn's family involved. We learn that Pope has cancer and wants to leave the business to his only daughter. But she wants nothing to do with the corrupt affair.In charge of the police operation is a young hotshot detective who also seems to be willing to do any unorthodox thing to stop the bus which is now heading to Texas followed by news choppers and cops. Along the way of the movie there are a couple of neat surprises.There seems to be a lot of hatred for this movie, not sure where that is coming from. Heist is a perfectly enjoyable heist/escape&chase movie. It benefits from a very strong cast: Morgan is always likable, De Niro, who frankly hasn't put much effort in his acting in a long time, actually does give it a try. Bautista, who hasn't had a lot of experience does have a lot of potential and this role is well-suited for him. Carano has always had trouble with her voice-acting but is starting to improve little by little. Perhaps the greatest surprise was Gosselaar, who hasn't had a chance nor has he tried to show some acting chops, does very well and projects some charisma. And the story worked for me overall. Sure, the final surprise which you do so coming moments before is a bit too much because it assumes some astonishing level of planning. But nevertheless, Heist is a strong good-hearted (is that what bothers people about it?) action thriller. It's not high on wild action and massive destruction as most action movies are these days. The actually heist isn't filmed so well and only takes a few moments. That would have been a perfect opportunity for a thrilling scene. It does have a good message though, that even the bad guys can occasionally do something good for others and that things aren't black or white but there's lots of gray in between.

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
