American Heist
The story tells of a realistic drama we live through two brothers who have a bad past about a bank robbery by a gang of dangerous criminals who have been manipulated. Perhaps this incident will be transformed without brotherly ties, and this theft will challenge the strength of the fraternity. We will know who is sacrificing for the other in a story that looks more exciting and powerful.

American Heist is watchable enough if only for Adrien Brody's erratic, jive talking performance.

Not even performances can wake this sleeping film, which is primarily interested in camera placement, not searing storytelling.

Christensen makes a decent Everyman hero and even shows some warmth in his scenes with Jordana Brewster, but their subplot doesn't amount to anything at all. Neither does the movie.

The heist itself is not very exciting, which is rather a let-down considering the grand-sounding title.

Slick but derivative and forgettable on all levels.

The film offers a veritable smorgasbord of dated, only-in-the-movies clichés about the debt-ridden working class.

American Heist, I want my 94 minutes back.

A run-of-the-mill crime drama that toes the risibility line on several occasions, even if it's better made than your typical straight-to-video movie.

Hayden Christensen and Adrien Brody turn in solid performances, but this by-the-numbers exercise does little to distinguish itself from any number of better crime thrillers.

American Heist has straight-to-video written all over it. Once there, I recommend you skip directly to the last act if you decide to watch it at all.

Despite a few strong emotional beats, the crime drama "American Heist" proves as undistinguished as its generic title.
