A heist film that doesn't quite payoff
A film that's based on an early 80's TV series of the same name. After seeing the cast line up and directed by Steve McQueen I was looking forward to this. It does have a great ensemble cast although the main plot is quite simple and a bit predictable. There are many layers to this film, with plenty of social comments on many themes. Something you expect from Steve McQueen. As a result though the actual heist almost plays second fiddle to all the other subplots and insights. I really thought the heist part would be very clever and elaborate. Instead it pales in comparison to many others of a similar genre. See it for the performances, story and not for the action of the heist itself. This way you'll enjoy the film a lot more.

Heist Film
Contains spoilers, click to show
I really enjoyed this female Heist film with many talented actress' .
Not much of a Rhianna fan so her being shown wasn't as annoying .
I am major fans of Cate Blanchett , Sandra Bullock & Anne Hathaway ..
I felt they really needed to get more into the Heist it kind of wraps up too early in my opinion so much more could have been explored !
** Spoiler TEASER
I especially liked how we find out Sandra Bullock's connection from a key player in her past too ..
Rate : 7 ? STARS

I liked this story, not as much as [b:Heist Society|6574102|Heist Society (Heist Society, #1)|Ally Carter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1359254479s/6574102.jpg|6767235] though. It seemed slower moving and I wasn't as into it as I thought I might have been.
I am interested in reading the next book in the series soon.

Steal The Art
The Art of Steal- is a funny action heist film.
The plot: Crunch Calhoun (Kurt Russell), a motorcycle daredevil and art thief, agrees to help his brother with one last heist. As Crunch gathers his old team and plans to steal a priceless book, he has no idea his brother has his own hidden agenda.
I would recordmend watching film.

Shame about the heist
This is a rather unusual heist film, in that whilst the heist is the main plot, it seems to play second fiddle to everything else that’s going on. There are some great performances in this from everyone involved, and the direction and cinematography are fantastic too. The problem is with the plot. It’s rather basic and hugely predictable. The little twist mid way through was good, but still very predictable, but sadly ultimately the way all this ended was far too dull and not at all unusual. I could’ve come up with a better ending myself!
