Poor at best

The movie is a cheap attempt at a "sting" like remake and fails as such. If you are familar with San diego then the movie is somewhat enjoyable as you get to see some of the sights as they were 20 years ago.

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!

fun flick

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.

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