Heist stars Robert De Niro, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Dave Bautista and is scheduled for release on November 13, 2015. It’s directed by Scott Mann.
The plot seems to have combined a number of previous films. Robert De Niro plays a feared gangster and casino owner named Pope, echoing his previous role as Sam Rothstein in Casino from 1995 amongst others. Meanwhile Jeffrey Dean Morgan and former WWE wrestler Dave Bautista end up fleeing their attempt to rob the casino and find themselves hijacking a city bus. Reminiscent of the 1994 Keanu Reeves public transportation drama Speed.
There’s a chance that it may be more than the sum of its readily apparent parts, but De Niro casts a long shadow over it. Aside from the likes of Casino, he also co-starred in one of the best heist films ever created, the 1995 Michael Mann classic Heat.
