Better heist capers than Sneakers?

Ocean's 11, Italian Job, Reservoir Dogs, Rififi... There are none. If anyone can name one, I will give you my winning Powerball lottery ticket.

Plenty. Definitely Reservoir Dogs. Sneakers is annoying political junk.

There's one or two minor riffs to Redford's 70's thrillers and personal activism. Reservoir Dogs works on b-movie shock feats, but can't light a match to the ease and composure of Sneakers.

Two by Michael Mann...

Thief (81) Cann shows real chops here in an action/drama with possibly the coolest final act ever
The heist parts were quite memorable but when Cann finally ends everything its really heavy and perfect
This heist film contains no flaws

Heat (95) DeNiro and Pacino were in top toughguy form in this throwback thriller!
All of the family drama was a huge distraction and a bit of a story problem but otherwise this beast of a flick was a great heist story
The big gunfight at the bank is one for the ages and holy crap-Val Kilmer was there!!!

I liked all three of the Ocean movies better than Sneakers. The casting was perfect and they had such a great chemistry together. RIP Bernie Mac 😢 He left us too soon.
