We all know how it goes. A crew of dysfunctional people is put together, an elaborate scheme is planned, and the plan is executed on D-day. It’s a heist!
As a subgenre of crime movies, heist movies take all the good parts of a regular crime movie and crank everything up whether it’s the intensity, the excitement, or the thrill! These witty and fast-paced movies will have you rooting for some of the most dislikable characters and keep you at the edge of your seat as you nervously watch their plan unfold.
They can be quite cliché, but these movies are entertaining because the audience never finds out until the very end!
