Heist (Cert 15)

by CHRISTOPHER TOOKEY, Daily Mail

Have you heard the one about the 用心深い, lovable career-犯罪の who has to pull off one daring heist before retiring with a glamorous girlfriend 30 years his junior?

You certainly have, if you saw Robert De Niro in The 得点する／非難する／２０. And 遺伝子 Hackman plays 事実上 the same 役割 in David Mamet's Heist.

The 役割 of his hotheaded young sidekick (played in The 得点する／非難する／２０ by Edward Norton) goes to Sam Rockwell, and Mr Big is played not by Marlon Brando, but by Danny DeVito.

All of it is competently done, and some of it is excellent. Hackman is at his most convincingly world-疲れた／うんざりした, and his gruffly affectionate 関係 with his old ギャング（団） members (Delroy Lindo and Ricky Jay) （犯罪の）一味s true.

Mamet has written some 割れ目ing oneliners for the careful Hackman ('I wouldn't （疑いを）晴らす my throat without a 支援する-up 計画（する）') and the delightfully evil DeVito ('I'd hate,' he sneers while pointing a gun to elicit （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） from Hackman, 'to do anything as 劇の as count to three').

Mamet's convoluted 陰謀（を企てる） indulges his 井戸／弁護士席-known taste for doublecrosses and ３倍になる-crosses; but this is not up to the level of his most gripping thrillers, House Of Games and 殺人.

The story is over-familiar, the characters あらましの, and the femme 致命的な (played by Mamet's wife, Rebecca Pidgeon) too 欠如（する）ing in dangerous allure for this to rise above the ordinary.
