Heist Page #6

Synopsis: David Mamet takes this story of thieves along many twists and turns, some of which work and some of which don't. Gene Hackman plays the brilliant leader of a gang (Delroy Lindo, Ricky Jay & Rebecca Pigeon as Hackman's youngish wife), which pulls off complex heists for a despicable fence (Danny DeVito). After stiffing the gang on a jewelry robbery, DeVito forces the gang to go after a Swiss gold shipment and to use his nephew (Sam Rockwell) in the crime. No one trusts anyone and every step is shaded with the unexpected.

-I don't get you.

-We were talking about Pinky.

-Yeah?

I said, "That's just the price,"

and you said, "That's part of it."

What's the rest of it?

Let me see your hands.

That's right, real still.

Yeah, well....

Get over there.

Keep walking.

Well, you sent me to him.

You shouldnt have sent me to him.

-You can't think of everything.

-Where's the gold?

It's right there.

Why doesn't he shoot me?

That's the deal.

-He isn't gonna shoot me?

-No.

Then he shouldnt point a gun at me.

It's insincere.

Let's go.

How you doing?

Tired.

-You'll be all right.

-You think so?

You always are.

Cute plan, though.

Cute as a Chinese baby.
