Entertaining and well done over all
This is a very well produced film. It is not a multi-million dollar Hollywood blockbuster, however you would not know that by the superior production quality. It kept my interest throughout the 80 minute duration. Do not expect the world and you will not be disappointed, it is well done and it is the first Feature Film by Director Lee Chambers. Not every story needs a billion dollars in special effects and 2.5 hours to be told. This is Lee’s story and his film adaptation of it and he has done an amazing job bringing his dream to the big screen on a small budget. You will not find a better film for the budget. Being from Thunder Bay where a lot of the movie was filmed was great but it wasn’t the make or break for me, this film will be enjoyable to anyone. Give it a go and decide for yourself, film is art after all and who am to pass judgement on others creative expression.
A high school teen stumbles into the aftermath of a bank robbery gone wrong.
SPOILERS AHEADTHE PINEVILLE HEIST is a coming of age thriller that introduces us to Aaron Stevens, the son of a politician in a small town known as Pineville, he shares a bad rep due to his father’s unpopular economic policies which have sent the entire town into bankruptcy and recession after he closes the mill. Aaron isn’t on good terms with him either since he is more interested in drama and Hamlet rather than politics and economics. Aaron develops a crush on his drama teacher, Miss Becker, the only person who encourages Aaron to pursue his acting dreams. She’s both a mentor and the source of Aaron’s burgeoning desires as a growing male. While out in the woods with his friend Mike, they stumble upon a camp, and when they hear people approaching they hide, it is here that they witness an assassination that involves the bank robbers who stole the money that Aaron’s father used to attempt to save the town. Aaron takes the money and flees as the robbers give chase, their identities unknown to him as he hides from them. Aaron takes refuge at his school, when classes are over and there’s only a few teachers there (The School Principal and Miss Becker) Aaron tries to do the right thing by calling the police and giving the money back, little does he know that one of the robbers is a figure of authority.
THE PINEVILLE HEIST is both thriller and coming of age story; When Aaron tries to do the right thing he is let-down by every figure of authority he’s supposed to look up to. His father is perceived as the man who is ruining his town, his school principal is a mumbling cowardly mess and both cops that should come to his aid turn out to be the very same robbers and murderers he tried to escape from. The most heartbreaking development perhaps is that Miss Becker is also part of the robbery. While the PINEVILLE HEIST indulges in claustrophobic chase sequences, it’s more an examination on disappointment and disenchantment about the people who we grow up looking up to. The more we grow up, the more we realize that the people who we once worshiped as heroes, or those who we are told that are pillars of the community in reality are frail, flawed people whose desperation can turn them into the worst version of themselves. In the end, Aaron stays true to himself, his father regains his respect (and not the other way around) by showing up to save him and explain that the stolen money was meant to save the town from bankruptcy. We could also mention that being chased around by a figure of authority in a deserted school represent dreams caused by anxiety due to School pressures, Aaron’s school changes when the classrooms are empty and the hallways get dark, we’ve all dream of a familiar place that we visit by day only for our subconscious to turn it hostile while we sleep; a dream in which Aaron is the hero who protects the beautiful (and out of his reach) Miss Becker. Like the leading man of a movie, this entire setting feels almost like young Aaron’s subconscious giving way to his teenage fantasies. He is after all, an actor in training who seeks to be the main character of a story. It is, however, all too real and the consequences of trying to do the right thing in the real world tend to backfire, another lesson in growing pains for young Aaron.
THE PINEVILLE HEIST biggest asset is its moody cinematography and framing composition, the deserted school at night becomes a nightmarish setting, the low key lighting and use of hard shadows create an aura of tension, sinking the film in darkness helps the theme of how that which should feel safe and familiar becomes dangerous and deadly. The color palette of greens and blues manage to transform the school setting into a darker and effective maze from which there is no escape. Sequences shot in the woods are also notable, capturing the humid beauty of the wilderness, giving it a majestic and cinematic look that makes the production look bigger and making full use of its resources. These
THE PINEVILLE HEIST is part thriller and part coming of age story, one in which growing up comes with the disappointment in the people we look up to and the figures of authority that are meant to keep us safe, and that doing the right thing and staying true to ourselves can bring unwanted consequences. Hard lessons for our young protagonist to learn.
