I caught the last forty-five minutes or so of Heist, a great suspense thriller that has you guessing until the last frame. The possible permutations of plot proceed like a reverse pyramid until the final moment. The movie ends with a scene so simple, it seems anti-climatic, but then that's Mamet. When the scene finally cuts, the protagonist has lost his love, but won the day, and he smiles. Mamet thrills in irony.
Gene Hackman, Rebecca Pidgeon, Sam Rockwell, Delroy Lindo & Danny DeVito star. On to Fargo.
