Expected safe-drilling, got a bore.
Action ? Nope. I calculated that the sum of all main characters spent a grand total of 17 calories throughout the story. Mostly because one of them trots about 5 yards somewhere in the first half.Drama ? More likely. You’ll mostly watch brothers talking gravely and crying in each other’s arms. There’s also 1 woman, and she’s in a love angle. That way, 2 requirements of US formatted products are met, killing two stones with one bird.
Heist ? Barely. It’s 1 hour and a half long, and the heist itself starts after 1 hour in. I’m not saying that the heist preparations take 1 hour. Preparations ? What preparations ? Let’s just pop in the bank with guns, take everyone hostage and hope nobody notices from outside. From now on, you’ll mostly watch brothers talking gravely and crying in each other’s arms, but with their faces covered.
American ? Yes, the title isn’t a complete lie. Not sure what the exact purpose of this adjective is… maybe to warn us that this heist won’t occur in Papua New Guinea and that there won’t be Austin Minis. Actually, I was expecting a gang of nuke-toting, gum-bubbling, Gump-quoting, segway-racing corporate-tattooed obese survivalists. Of which I saw none, so it’s only technically American; just.
Obnoxious dialogue mars a B-movie thriller
American Heist is a low rent Canadian thriller about, you guessed it, a team of robbers teaming up to pull the ultimate in bank heists. It’s an overworked genre for sure and the best this B-movie can do is add a couple of recognisable actors to the cast. Sadly, it turns out to be an absolutely brain-dead piece of entertainment thanks to the awful script, which thinks incessant profanity is a good substitute for wit and realism.Hayden Christensen, the ill-fated star of the STAR WARS prequels who quickly faded into obscurity thereafter, is the film’s slightly obnoxious lead. Obscuring him at every turn is Adrien Brody, a far distance from his work in Polanski’s THE PIANIST. Brody somehow gives a good performance despite his foul-mouthed and moronic dialogue, and he’s one of the reasons I kept watching. The actual heist scene isn’t too bad, but it’s late in the day when it takes place and there’s a lot of long-winded relationship stuff and melodrama to get through before that point.
