One last heist and I’m out. That’s what the aging pro always says before taking on one last job. Films involving heists have always been one of my favorites. From the planning to the execution I sit enthralled watching it play out. From Jules Dassin to Melville to David Mamet the art of the con and the heist allows for some of the best “gotcha” moments in cinema.
