Disappointing


I've watched several good Adrien Brody movies like "The Pianist", but was very disappointed with "American Heist".
Is this supposed to be a remake of "Dog Day Afternoon"? I didn't care for the Al Pacino version either.
After ca. 62 minutes of a very slow build up the heist finally starts, but nothing new happens that we haven't already seen in many similar bank robbing movies before.
It's amazing that garbage like this finds enough producers/companies who finance cheap flicks.
90% less foul language (the f word is used ad nauseum) sure would have contributed to a better movie.

Don't waste your time. Rather watch "The Next Three Days" (Russel Crowe) or "Tell No One" (François Cluzet), if you want to watch something suspenseful that's worthwhile.
