Summary: Fun & Entertaining
Comment: I remembered seeing The Heist as an HBO flik years ago & enjoying it then. It's not Casablanca, but it is still a fun & entertaining movie. Brosnan & Skerritt play wonderfully off each other & the action moves quickly. I would recommend it if you're looking for a fun flik with double crossing ex-partners!

Summary: fun flick
Comment: This is a really fun movie, and amazingly similar in plot to the remake of *Ocean's 11*, which came many years later.
Brosnan's character is like Danny Ocean, having spent his jail time plotting to get back his girl and get even with the guy who sent him to jail and walked away with the beauty. A cat-and-mouse game follows leading to the finale, where Brosnan's big plan is enacted.
Definitely worth watching.

Comment: I am so glad that I bought this movie -- Pierce Brosnan really knows his way around women and horses. I enjoyed the story.

Summary: The Heist
Comment: A fun flick, with beautiful Brosnan growing into his bones
as he hit age 35. An elegant man playing a small-time hood
is a nice contrast. Note the hair slicked back. Audrey
Wood plays the bubble-headed moll who divides her favors
between Brosnan and Skerrit, showing little emotion for either
guy. Nice seedy race track atmosphere, pretty hot love scenes,
and a light hearted adio accompanied by the Spanish version
of "My Way". Recommended.

Summary: A Great Heist Movie
Comment: Where can one start with a review of The Heist. It is a well crafted movie from begining to end. All the colorful characters are well defined and exciting to watch. There is a scene in the middle of the movie where the bad guys are attempting to figure out how Neil "Pierce" is going to rob the track and are able to predict a great many thing and still Neil is able to outwit them all and the cop who is trying to put him back in jail. The Gipsy Kings version of "My Way" at the end is great. Pierce Brosnan loved this story so much and the whole making of a caper movie in general and that this is one of the reasons he went on to develop and star in the remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair", but thats another movie review.
