And you need only see one movie that thinks it can get away with hand-waving its entire heist to recognize how rewarding it is when a filmmaker actually takes its time to show how the whole crime sausage is made. While plenty of great movies have situated themselves among con men and robbers, and luxuriated in the satisfaction of a good grift, not as many take the time to take us through the play-by-play of a heist - whether its a mere bank stickup or something requiring more time and planning and laser-dodging acrobatics. Heist movies are a dime a dozen, but a truly good movie heist is something you don’t forget. ![]() Photo: Silver Screen Collection/Getty Images ![]()
