Two brothers seem to have had a bad past about a bank robbery by a gang of dangerous criminals who were mysteriously manipulated. This is an incident that may change the reality and show those links that are related to the brothers and that this theft will challenge the strength of the brotherhood. There are those who sacrifice for the other in a story that seems more provocative about the bonds of social brotherhood.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

American Heist is watchable enough if only for Adrien Brody's erratic, jive talking performance.
July 19, 2015
The film offers a veritable smorgasbord of dated, only-in-the-movies clichés about the debt-ridden working class.

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

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.
