Heist Movie Review
Parents need to know that Heist (not to be confused with David Mamet's 2001 movie of the same name) is a crime thriller with very strong, constant language (including dozens of uses of "f--k" and "motherf----r") and graphic violence: shooting, killing, blood, fighting, and children in peril.One scene shows a man and a woman in bed, with her partly naked.
Heist (2015)
Severe 13 of 21 found this severe. Typical action movie violence. Shooting, bloody wounds, blood sprays, characters dying. Fighting, shouting, punching. Car chases, explosions. Knife pulled. Children in peril. A man is tied to a chair and his captor stubs a cigarette out on his thigh. There are also scenes in which people are shot and blood ...

The Hurricane Heist Movie Review for Parents
Overall C. The ultimate storm seems like the perfect time for the ultimate heist. So when a Category 5 hurricane threatens a U.S. Treasury facility, a group of thieves take the opportunity to break-in. What they fail to account for is a loyal security guard (Maggie Grace) who is just as determined as mother nature. Release date March 9, 2018.
Heist movie review & film summary (2001)
David Mamet's ''Heist'' is about a caper and a con, involving professional criminals who want to retire but can't. It's not that they actually require more money. It's more that it would be a sin to leave it in civilian hands. Gene Hackman plays a jewel thief who dreams of taking his last haul and sailing into the sunset with his young wife (Rebecca Pidgeon). Danny DeVito is the low-rent ...
